+    cURL is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax,
+    supporting numerous protocols.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Scott Cantor reported that cURL does not properly handle fields in
+    X.509 certificates that contain an ASCII NUL (\0) character.
+    Specifically, the processing of such fields is stopped at the first
+    occurence of a NUL character. This type of vulnerability was recently
+    discovered by Dan Kaminsky and Moxie Marlinspike.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker might employ a specially crafted X.509 certificate
+    (that for instance contains a NUL character in the Common Name field)
+    to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks.
+    </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-7.19.6"</code>
