============================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 14.10
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

curl could expose sensitive information over the network.

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

Details:

Symeon Paraschoudis discovered that curl incorrectly handled memory when
being used with CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS and curl_easy_duphandle(). This may
result in sensitive data being incorrectly sent to the remote server.

package versions:

Ubuntu 14.10:
libcurl3 7.37.1-1ubuntu3.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
