    Package : curl
    Vulnerability : improper delegation of client credentials
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-2192
    Debian Bug : #631615

    Richard Silverman discovered that when doing GSSAPI authentication, libcurl unconditionally performs credential delegation. This hands the server a copy of the client's security credentials, allowing the server to impersonate the client to any other using the same GSSAPI mechanism.
    This is obviously a very sensitive operation, which should only be done when the user explicitly so directs.


    For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 7.18.2-8lenny5.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 7.21.0-2.

    version 7.21.6-2.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 7.21.6-2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
