"It was discovered that there were three vulnerabilities in the curl
command-line HTTP (etc.) client :

  - CVE-2018-16890: A heap buffer out-of-bounds read
    vulnerability in the handling of NTLM type-2 messages.

  - CVE-2019-3822: Stack-based buffer overflow in the
    handling of outgoing NTLM type-3 headers.

  - CVE-2019-3823: Heap out-of-bounds read in code handling
    the end of a response in the SMTP protocol.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in curl version
7.38.0-4+deb8u14.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
