Description:
Previous versions of the curl package do not properly validate X.509
certificates with NULL bytes in the domain name portion of the Common
Name field, which can allow man-in-the-middle attacks which spoof
arbitrary SSL servers by presenting crafted certificates signed by
legitimate certification authorities.
