Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/curl-7.29.0-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded. When negotiating SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication, the function Curl_sasl_create_digest_md5_message() uses the data provided from the server without doing the proper length checks and that data is then appended to a local fixed-size buffer on the stack. This vulnerability can be exploited by someone who is in control of a server that a libcurl based program is accessing with POP3, SMTP or IMAP. For applications that accept user provided URLs, it is also thinkable that a malicious user would feed an application with a URL to a server hosting code targeting this flaw. Affected versions: curl 7.26.0 to and including 7.28.1 For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-0249 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+
