Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Update curl replacement to 7.50.2
Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2016 18:04:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1473285584.git.leo@famulari.name> (raw)
The curl project disclosed a bug, CVE-2016-7141 [0]:
---
libcurl built on top of NSS (Network Security Services) incorrectly re-used
client certificates if a certificate from file was used for one TLS connection
but no certificate set for a subsequent TLS connection.
While the symptoms are similar to CVE-2016-5420 (Re-using connection with wrong
client cert), this vulnerability was caused by an implementation detail of the
NSS backend in libcurl, which is orthogonal to the cause of CVE-2016-5420.
---
As far as I can tell, our curl package does not use NSS, but people who
use Guix as a source of free software source code (`guix build
--source`) may be vulnerable.
