curl-7.15.5-9.AXS3

cURL is a tool for getting files from FTP, HTTP, Gopher, Telnet, and Dict servers, using any of the supported protocols. cURL is designed to work without user interaction or any kind of interactivity. cURL offers many useful capabilities, like proxy support, user authentication, FTP upload, HTTP post, and file transfer resume.
Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2010-0734
content_encoding.c in libcurl 7.10.5 through 7.19.7, when zlib is enabled, does not properly restrict the amount of callback data sent to an application that requests automatic decompression, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or have unspecified other impact by sending crafted compressed data to an application that relies on the intended data-length limit.
Fixed bugs:
- http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20100209.html
- avoid tight loop if an upload connection is broken: when uploading a file, if the connection was lost or reset, curl would use 100%CPU and not display an error message; this has been fixed.
- fixed crash (segmentation fault) when reusing connection after negotiate-auth
- sync patch for CVE-2007-0037 with 5.3.Z
Enhancements:
- mention lack of IPv6, FTPS and LDAP support while using a socks proxy:updated the manpage to reflect the lack of support of those protocols with the '--socks4' and '--socks5' options.
- added options --ftp-account and --ftp-alternative-to-user to program help
- now supports CRL (lCertificate Revocation Lists) oading from a PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) file
