Summary

CVE-2017-8817

Fuzzing by the OSS-Fuzz project led to the discovery of a read out of
bounds flaw in the FTP wildcard function in libcurl. A malicious
server could redirect a libcurl-based client to an URL using a
wildcard pattern, triggering the out-of-bound read.


For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
7.26.0-1+wheezy23.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
