+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to compromise a
+ user's system by enticing the user to request a malicious URL with
+ cURL/libcurl or to use a HTTP server redirecting to a malicious TFTP
+ 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 "&gt;=net-misc/curl-7.15.1-r1"</code>
