Subject: [RHBA-2000:092-05] Updated curl packages available.


                   Red Hat, Inc. Bug Fix Advisory

Synopsis:          Updated curl packages available.
Advisory ID:       RHBA-2000:092-05
Issue date:        2000-10-23
Updated on:        2000-11-27
Product:           Red Hat Powertools
Keywords:          N/A
Cross references:  N/A

1. Topic:

Updated curl packages are available for Red Hat Power Tools 6.x and 7.

2000-11-27: Added packages for Red Hat Power Tools 7 for Alpha

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Powertools 6.1 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Powertools 6.2 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Powertools 7.0 - i386, alpha

3. Problem description:

A bug in some versions of curl would cause it to incorrectly parse error responses from FTP servers. A malicious FTP server could use this bug to crash its client.

The packages listed in the previous errata (RHBA-2000:092-01) should not be used since the "-c" option does not function properly. Please use the packages listed in this updated errata instead.

4. Solution:

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

20337 - -c with FTP is broken in curl 7.3
