I only know about one curl buffer overflow ever mentioned on bugtraq, and
that was published on October 13, 2000:
http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/1804
That particular problem was fixed in curl 7.4.1. (My comments on the
"exploit" is found here: http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/140883)
Are you referring to this or to another problem?
