+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could possibly exploit this vulnerability to make
+ remote HTTP servers trigger arbitrary requests to intranet servers and
+ read or overwrite arbitrary files via a redirect to a file: URL, or, if
+ the libssh2 USE flag is enabled, execute arbitrary commands via a
+ redirect to an scp: URL.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All cURL users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/curl-7.19.4&quot;</code>
