Debian Security Advisory DSA 2398-2 (curl) addresses cURL command-line tool and library vulnerability to Dai/Rogaway chosen-plaintext attack on SSL/TLS (CVE-2011-3389, BEAST). The update provides fix for interoperability issues with some server implementations, and adds new SSL options to the library and curl program

syntax. It was discovered that the countermeasures against the
Dai/Rogaway chosen-plaintext attack on SSL/TLS (CVE-2011-3389,
BEAST) cause interoperability issues with some server
implementations. This update ads the the CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS and
CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST options to the library, and the
- --ssl-allow-beast option to the curl program.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 7.21.0-2.1+squeeze2.
