Synopsis:	Moderate: curl security update
Issue date:	2010-03-30
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-0734

Wesley Miaw discovered that when deflate compression was used, libcurl
could call the registered write callback function with data exceeding
the documented limit. A malicious server could use this flaw to crash an
application using libcurl or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. Note:
This issue only affected applications using libcurl that rely on the
documented data size limit, and that copy the data to the insufficiently
sized buffer. (CVE-2010-0734)

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

Note: This package for SL4 has to be renamed due to previous poor naming 
of rpms.

SL 4.x
