It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled SASL authentication when communicating over POP3, SMTP or IMAP. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted URL, an attacker could cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service.

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