Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7162-1

curl vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

curl could be made to expose sensitive information.

Software Description:
- curl: HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP client and client libraries

Details:

Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly handled credentials from
.netrc files when following HTTP redirects. In certain configurations, the
password for the first host could be leaked to the followed-to host,
contrary to expectations.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
