                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Moderate: curl security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2017:2016-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:2016
Issue date:        2017-08-01
CVE Names:         CVE-2016-7167 
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for curl is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client (v. 7) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client Optional (v. 7) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode (v. 7) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional (v. 7) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7) - aarch64, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 7) - x86_64

3. Description:

The curl packages provide the libcurl library and the curl utility for
downloading files from servers using various protocols, including HTTP,
FTP, and LDAP.

Security Fix(es):

* Multiple integer overflow flaws leading to heap-based buffer overflows
were found in the way curl handled escaping and unescaping of data. An
attacker could potentially use these flaws to crash an application using
libcurl by sending a specially crafted input to the affected libcurl
functions. (CVE-2016-7167)

Additional Changes:

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.4 Release Notes linked from the References section.
