3、cURL工具及库中被发现远程代码执行严重漏洞
标题:cURL Security Audit Reveals Several Vulnerabilities
作者信息:November 28, 2016 By Eduard Kovacs
//BEGIN
The latest version of cURL patches nearly a dozen vulnerabilities, more than half of which were discovered as a result of an audit conducted recently by security experts.
cURL is an open source command line tool and library designed for transferring data. cURL is used by thousands of software applications, including networking devices, printers, media equipment, phones, tablets, TVs and even cars.
有着广泛应用的cURL是一个开源的命令行工具和库文件,可以用来在网络上传送数据。就是这个cURL发布了最新版,修复了十多个漏洞,这其中有近一半的漏洞是在进行审计检查时发现的(下面有35页的报告文件,供参考)。

“I applied for the security audit because I feel that we’ve had some security related issues lately and I’ve had the feeling that we might be missing something so it would be really good to get some experts’ eyes on the code,” Stenberg said in a blog post. “Also, as curl is one of the most used software components in the world a serious problem in curl could have a serious impact on tools, devices and applications everywhere. We don’t want that to happen.”
该安全审计活动是由cURL的主要开发人员发起的。根据其描述:感觉到可能会有问题和漏洞,因此自己觉得应该请更专业的安全人员进行检查。结果果然如此,甚至比预想的还要多和严重。鉴于cURL应用的广泛性和重要性,这个工作非常值得做。因为基于cURL开发了很多的工具软件、设备、以及不计其数的应用程序,作为cURL的开发者显然不想因为自身的严重问题,导致这些业内的众多参与者受害。
