Slackware: 2009-226-01: curl Security Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 12.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/curl-7.19.6-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: This update fixes a security issue where a zero byte embedded in an SSL or TLS certificate could fool cURL into validating the security of a connection to a system that the certificate was not issued for. It has been reported that at least one Certificate Authority allowed such certificates to be issued. For more information, see: https://curl.se/docs/security.html http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2417 (* Security fix *)
Where Find New Packages
HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
additional mirror sites near you.
