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

- Ubuntu 20.10
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

curl could be made to expose sensitive information over the network.

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

Details:

Viktor Szakats discovered that curl did not strip off user credentials
from referrer header fields. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2021-22876)

Mingtao Yang discovered that curl incorrectly handled session tickets when
using an HTTPS proxy. A remote attacker in control of an HTTPS proxy could
use this issue to bypass certificate checks and intercept communications.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.10.
(CVE-2021-22890)
