FYI,

I just wanted to tell you about CVE-2009-4355 and an OpenSSL DoS vulnerability: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2010/q1/21 since several records online show references to curl and libcurl in association with it.

I was contacted by the guys at rpath early on during the research of this flaw, and as the Redhat bug entry (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546707) shows they thought libcurl was to blame initially.

It was however quickly determined that libcurl was not the culprit, it could merely avoid the problem by changing code. The actual final fix was done to OpenSSL and that's then what the final security alert is about.
