Ubuntu 20.10 Security Notice USN-4665-1: Curl DoS and Info Leak

Several security issues were fixed in curl.. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4665-1 December 09, 2020 curl vulnerabilities ========================================================================= 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: Several security issues were fixed in curl. Software Description: - curl: HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP client and client libraries Details: Marc Aldorasi discovered that curl incorrectly handled the libcurl CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. This could result in data being sent to the wrong destination, possibly exposing sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.10. (CVE-2020-8231) Varnavas Papaioannou discovered that curl incorrectly handled FTP PASV responses. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trick curl into connecting to an arbitrary IP address and be used to perform port scanner and other information gathering. (CVE-2020-8284) It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled FTP wildcard matchins. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause curl to consume resources and crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-8285) It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled OCSP response verification. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to provide a fraudulent OCSP response. (CVE-2020-8286) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.10: curl 7.68.0-1ubuntu4.2 libcurl3-gnutls 7.68.0-1ubuntu4.2 libcurl3-nss 7.68.0-1ubuntu4.2 libcurl4 7.68.0-1ubuntu4.2 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: curl 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.4 libcurl3-gnutls 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.4 libcurl3-nss 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.4 libcurl4 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.4 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: curl 7.58.0-2ubuntu3.12 libcurl3-gnutls 7.58.0-2ubuntu3.12 libcurl3-nss 7.58.0-2ubuntu3.12 libcurl4 7.58.0-2ubuntu3.12 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: curl 7.47.0-1ubuntu2.18 libcurl3 7.47.0-1ubuntu2.18 libcurl3-gnutls 7.47.0-1ubuntu2.18 libcurl3-nss 7.47.0-1ubuntu2.18 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
