Slackware-10.0 ChangeLog (2009-08-14)

Fri Aug 14 13:42:26 CDT 2009

patches/packages/curl-7.12.2-i486-4_slack10.0.tgz
This update fixes a security issue where a zero byte embedded in an SSL
or TLS certificate could fool cURL into validating the security of a
connection to a system that the certificate was not issued for. It has
been reported that at least one Certificate Authority allowed such
certificates to be issued.
For more information, see:
