Version        : 7.38.0-4+deb8u13
CVE ID         : CVE-2016-7141 CVE-2016-7167 CVE-2016-9586

Debian Bug     : 848958 837945 836918

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in cURL, an URL transfer
library.

CVE-2016-7141

    When built with NSS and the libnsspem.so library is available at
    runtime, allows an remote attacker to hijack the authentication of a
    TLS connection by leveraging reuse of a previously loaded client
    certificate from file for a connection for which no certificate has
    been set, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-5420.

CVE-2016-7167

    Multiple integer overflows in the (1) curl_escape, (2)
    curl_easy_escape, (3) curl_unescape, and (4) curl_easy_unescape
    functions in libcurl allow attackers to have unspecified impact via
    a string of length 0xffffffff, which triggers a heap-based buffer
    overflow.

CVE-2016-9586

    Curl is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when doing a large floating
    point output in libcurl's implementation of the printf() functions.
    If there are any applications that accept a format string from the
    outside without necessary input filtering, it could allow remote
    attacks.

CVE-2018-16839

    Curl is vulnerable to a buffer overrun in the SASL authentication
    code that may lead to denial of service.

CVE-2018-16842

    Curl is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in the
    tool_msgs.c:voutf() function that may result in information exposure
    and denial of service.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
7.38.0-4+deb8u13.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
