Hi Robie, after more investigation it was a bug in curl itself, so it affects all applications that use curl and its parameter CURLOPT_USERPWD. I don't know if other scripting languages use curl and that feature, but also shell scripts using curl are affected, so potentially many users.
It has been fixed in curl 7.34.0: - login options: remove the ;[options] support from CURLOPT_USERPWD See: http://curl.haxx.se/changes.html http://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/1311/ I don't know when the new curl version will be available in 13.10, or if this specific bugfix will be packported. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281646 Title: php5-curl: Curl truncates basic auth password after semicolon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1281646/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
