<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could possibly exploit this vulnerability to make
remote HTTP servers trigger arbitrary requests to intranet servers and
read or overwrite arbitrary files via a redirect to a file: URL, or, if
the libssh2 USE flag is enabled, execute arbitrary commands via a
redirect to an scp: URL.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All cURL users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/curl-7.19.4&quot;</code>
</resolution>
