curl vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.10
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

libcurl could be made to expose sensitive information.

Software Description:
- curl: HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP client and client libraries

Details:

Paras Sethia and Yehezkel Horowitz discovered that libcurl incorrectly
reused connections when NTLM authentication was being used. This could lead
to the use of unintended credentials, possibly exposing sensitive
information.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
