curl vulnerability
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.10
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

libcurl could be made to expose sensitive information.

Software Description:
- curl: HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP client and client libraries

Details:

Paras Sethia and Yehezkel Horowitz discovered that libcurl incorrectly
reused connections when NTLM authentication was being used. This could lead
to the use of unintended credentials, possibly exposing sensitive
information.
