Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in cURL, an URL transfer
library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:

CVE-2014-0138

Steve Holme discovered that libcurl can in some circumstances re-use
the wrong connection when asked to do transfers using other
protocols than HTTP and FTP.

CVE-2014-0139

Richard Moore from Westpoint Ltd. reported that libcurl does not
behave compliant to RFC 2828 under certain conditions and
incorrectly validates wildcard SSL certificates containing literal
IP addresses.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 7.21.0-2.1+squeeze8.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 7.26.0-1+wheezy9.

For the testing distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 7.36.0-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 7.36.0-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
