=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.10
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

curl could expose sensitive information over the network.

Software Description:
- curl: HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP client and client libraries

Details:

being used with CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS and curl_easy_duphandle(). This may
result in sensitive data being incorrectly sent to the remote server.
