Descriptions

The redirect implementation in curl and libcurl 5.11 through 7.19.3, when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled, accepts arbitrary Location values, which might allow remote HTTP servers to (1) trigger arbitrary requests to intranet servers, (2) read or overwrite arbitrary files via a redirect to a file: URL, or (3) execute arbitrary commands via a redirect to an scp: URL.

La implementación de redirección en curl y libcurl v5.11 hasta v7.19.3, cuando CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION esta activado, acepta valores de localización a elección del usuario, lo que permite a servidores HTTP remotos (1)iniciar peticiones arbitrarias a servidores de red interna, (2) leer o sobreescribir ficheros arbitrariamente a través de una redirección a un fichero: URL, o (3) ejecutar comando arbitrariamente a través de una redirección a un scp: URL.

A vulnerability in the udev program did not verify whether a NETLINK message originates from kernel space, which allows local users to gain privileges by sending a NETLINK message from user space. Sudo versions 1.6.9p17 through 1.6.9p19 do not properly interpret a system group in the sudoers file during authorization decisions for a user who belongs to that group, which might allow local users to leverage an applicable sudoers file and gain root privileges by using a sudo command. The redirect implementation in curl and libcurl 5.11 through 7.19.3, when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled, accepts arbitrary Location values, which might allow remote HTTP servers to trigger arbitrary requests to intranet servers, read or overwrite arbitrary files by using a redirect to a file: URL, or execute arbitrary commands by using a redirect to an scp: URL.
