                   Red Hat, Inc. Bug Fix Advisory

Synopsis:          Updated curl packages available.
Advisory ID:       RHBA-2000:092-03
Issue date:        2000-10-23
Updated on:        2000-11-06
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.

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

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
