news 28 Posted December 29, 2016 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Package : curl Version : 7.26.0-1+wheezy18 CVE ID : CVE-2016-9586 Debian Bug : 848958 It was discovered that libcurl's implementation of the printf() functions triggers a buffer overflow when doing a large floating point output. The bug occurs when the conversion outputs more than 255 bytes. The flaw happens because the floating point conversion is using system functions without the correct boundary checks. If there are any application that accepts a format string from the outside without necessary input filtering, it could allow remote attacks. This flaw does not exist in the command line tool. For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version 7.26.0-1+wheezy18. We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
