Slackware 10.0 / 10.1 / 10.2 / 8.1 / 9.0 / 9.1 / current : curl/wget (SSA:2005-310-01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20149

Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

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.

Solution

Update the affected curl and / or wget packages.
