Hi
While we're on the subject of bad security advisories, a little amusement is
this:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12616
I would like to point out the list of "vulnerable" versions. The list includes
numerous versions that was released before curl even had the features that the
advisory is for. ;-)
The list of affected versions also lack numerous versions. They could've just
said vulnerable: curl 7.3 up to and including curl 7.13.0.
I've mailed them about. I don't think it'll change anything. I've tried to
have them correct the previous advisories they have on curl too in the past.
They don't seem to care.
