A flaw was found in curl. Overwriting local files is possible when using a certain combination of command line options. Requesting content from a malicious server could lead to overwriting local files with compromised files leading to unknown effects. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to file integrity.

Mitigation

The vulnerability is only possible when using the '-J' and '-i' switches in conjunction with the curl command. Executing curl without these switches mitigates the flaw.
