Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200909-20 - An error in the X.509 certificate handling of cURL might enable remote attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks. Scott Cantor reported that cURL does not properly handle fields in X.509 certificates that contain an ASCII NUL (\\0) character. Specifically, the processing of such fields is stopped at the first occurrence of a NUL character. This type of vulnerability was recently discovered by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie Marlinspike. Versions less than 7.19.6 are affected.
