curl/wget (SSA:2005-310-01)

Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 11/07/2005 01:49 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

New curl packages are available for Slackware 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and -current, and new wget packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and -current. These address a buffer overflow in NTLM handling which may present a security problem, though no public exploits are known at this time.
