was introduced in Ubuntu 8.10 that caused certain types of URLs to fail. This
update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that curl did not enforce any restrictions when following
 URL redirects. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a URL to
 an untrusted server, an attacker could use redirects to gain access to arbitrary
 files. This update changes curl behavior to prevent following 'file' URLs after
 a redirect.");
