Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-3992-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'curl' package(s) announced via the DSA-3992-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'curl' package(s) announced via the DSA-3992-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in cURL, an URL transfer library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2017-1000100

Even Rouault reported that cURL does not properly handle long file names when doing an TFTP upload. A malicious HTTP(S) server can take advantage of this flaw by redirecting a client using the cURL library to a crafted TFTP URL and trick it to send private memory contents to a remote server over UDP.

CVE-2017-1000101

Brian Carpenter and Yongji Ouyang reported that cURL contains a flaw in the globbing function that parses the numerical range, leading to an out-of-bounds read when parsing a specially crafted URL.

CVE-2017-1000254

Max Dymond reported that cURL contains an out-of-bounds read flaw in the FTP PWD response parser. A malicious server can take advantage of this flaw to effectively prevent a client using the cURL library to work with it, causing a denial of service.

For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 7.38.0-4+deb8u6.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 7.52.1-5+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'curl' package(s) on Debian 8, Debian 9.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
