Synopsis:	Moderate: curl security update
Issue date:	2009-03-19
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0037

David Kierznowski discovered a flaw in libcurl where it would not
differentiate between different target URLs when handling automatic
redirects. This caused libcurl to follow any new URL that it understood,
including the "file://" URL type. This could allow a remote server to 
force a local libcurl-using application to read a local file instead of 
the remote one, possibly exposing local files that were not meant to be
exposed. (CVE-2009-0037)

Note: Applications using libcurl that are expected to follow redirects 
to "file://" protocol must now explicitly call curl_easy_setopt(3) and 
set the newly introduced CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS option as required.

All running applications using libcurl must be restarted for the update 
to take effect.
