"David Kierznowski discovered a flaw in libcurl where it would not
differentiate between different target URLs when handling automatic
redirects. This caused libcurl to follow any new URL that it
understood, including the 'file://' URL type. This could allow a
remote server to force a local libcurl-using application to read a
local file instead of the remote one, possibly exposing local files
that were not meant to be exposed. (CVE-2009-0037)

Note: Applications using libcurl that are expected to follow redirects
to 'file://' protocol must now explicitly call curl_easy_setopt(3) and
set the newly introduced CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS option as required.

All running applications using libcurl must be restarted for the
update to take effect."
