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.");
