It was discovered that there was an issue in the curl a command-line tool for downloading (eg.) data over HTTP.
curl could have be tricked into reading data beyond the end of a heap based buffer used to store downloaded content.
For more information, please see upstream’s advisory at :
https://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_2018-b138.html
For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, this issue has been fixed in curl version 7.26.0-1+wheezy25+deb7u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
