 Package : curl Version : 7.64.0-4+deb10u7 CVE ID : CVE-2023-28321 CVE-2023-38546

 Two security issues were found in Curl, an easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library and command line tool.

 CVE-2023-28321

 Hiroki Kurosawa found that curl could mismatch hostnames with wildcards when using its own name matching function.

 CVE-2023-38546

 It was discovered that under some circumstances libcurl was susceptible to cookie injection.

 For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 7.64.0-4+deb10u7.

 We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
