[PATCH 0/1] Curl security update (CVE-2016-0755)

[Leo Famulari]

This patch updates curl to 7.47.0, fixing CVE-2016-0755 [0][1].

I built it on the core-updates branch (although it's trivial enough to
apply on another branch), and I tested it to download successfully.

Feel free to apply the patch where appropriate.

I pushed this to the new 'security-updates' branch, along with an update
to OpenSSL 1.0.2f, and asked hydra to build it out.

     Thanks!

Ouch!

guix refresh -l curl
Building the following 318 packages would ensure 772 dependent packages are rebuilt

This is about a quarter of all packages.

I would suggest the following: Quickly merge core-updates once the packages
on x86_64 are built (there are not many left, and qt-5 did build successfully
sequentially, so this could be done tomorrow), then create a new
security-updates branch with the patch for curl.

What do you think?

Civodul and mark_weaver discussed how best to apply it on #guix. I think
the plan is to build it in a branch with tomorrow's OpenSSL security
update.

Very well.

Some garbage managed to crawl into the commit message:
    gnu: curl: Update to 7.47.0 [fixes CVE-2016-0755].
    
    To: guix-devel@gnu.org
    Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 13:57:23 -0500 (19 hours, 58 minutes, 42 seconds ago)
    
    * gnu/packages/curl.scm (curl): Update to 7.47.0.

So once the branch is built, I would suggest to not merge it back into
master, but instead to cherry-pick the two commits and to fix the commit
message for curl.

Thanks for all this important work!
