Package : curl
CVE ID : CVE-2017-1000257

Brian Carpenter, Geeknik Labs and 0xd34db347 discovered that cURL, an URL
transfer library, incorrectly parsed an IMAP FETCH response with size 0,
leading to an out-of-bounds read.

For the oldstable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed
in version 7.38.0-4+deb8u7.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in
version 7.52.1-5+deb9u2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 7.56.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
