Mandriva Linux Advisory MDVA-2008:159

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : curl

Date : October 27, 2008

Affected: 2009.0

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

An idiosyncratic feature of the Turkish language is that the letter 'i'

in Turkish is not the lower-case version of the letter 'I'. This issue

breaks standard POSIX string case comparison on strings containing

the character 'i'. This issue affected the curl package shipped with

Mandriva Linux 2009, which ultimately caused it to be incapable of

handling URIs of the form file:///somefile in Turkish locales. In turn,

curl is used by webkit, which is used by the Mandriva Linux Control

Center, ultimately resulting in the Control Center not rendering icons

in its user interface when run in Turkish locales. The bug likely also

has other implications for curl-based applications in Turkish locales.

 

The fixed package includes a fix for this issue, so that curl will

correctly handle file:///somefile URIs in Turkish locales. As a

consequence, the Mandriva Linux Control Center now properly renders

icons in Turkish locales.
