Ubuntu Security Notice 1158-1 - Richard Silverman discovered that when doing GSSAPI authentication, libcurl unconditionally performs credential delegation, handing the server a copy of the client's security credential. Wesley Miaw discovered that when zlib is enabled, libcurl does not properly restrict the amount of callback data sent to an application that requests automatic decompression. This might allow an attacker to cause a denial of service via an application crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the application. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Various other issues were also addressed.

This update provides a solution to this vulnerability. Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products.

Scott Cantor reported that cURL does not properly handle fields in X.509 certificates that contain an ASCII NUL (\\0) character. Specifically, the processing of such fields is stopped at the first occurrence of a NUL character. This type of vulnerability was recently discovered by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie Marlinspike. Versions less than 7.19.6 are affected.

This allows an attacker to perform undetected man-in-the-middle attacks via a crafted ITU-T X.509 certificate with an injected null byte in the Common Name field.

A remote attacker could exploit this to perform a man in the middle attack to view sensitive information or alter encrypted communications.
