USN-5587-1: curl vulnerability | Ubuntu security notices

Packages

curl - HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP client and client libraries

Details

Axel Chong discovered that when curl accepted and sent back
cookies containing control bytes that a HTTP(S) server might
return a 400 (Bad Request Error) response. A malicious cookie
host could possibly use this to cause denial-of-service.

Update instructions
