The upstream developer of curl, a multi-protocol file transfer library, informed us that the former correction to several off-by-one errors are not sufficient. For completeness please find the original bug description below :

Several problems were discovered in libcurl, a multi-protocol file transfer library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2005-3185       A buffer overflow has been discovered in libcurl that       could allow the execution of arbitrary code.

- CVE-2005-4077       Stefan Esser discovered several off-by-one errors that       allows local users to trigger a buffer overflow and       cause a denial of service or bypass PHP security       restrictions via certain URLs.
