    David Kierznowski reported that the redirect implementation accepts
    arbitrary Location values when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly exploit this vulnerability to make
    remote HTTP servers trigger arbitrary requests to intranet servers and
    read or overwrite arbitrary files via a redirect to a file: URL, or, if
    the libssh2 USE flag is enabled, execute arbitrary commands via a
    redirect to an scp: URL.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
