Description Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-14 05:37:06 UTC
pycurl is probably affected by the same flaw as curl (bug 114710).
Comment 1 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-14 13:05:27 UTC
pycurl is just a wrapper for the curl library.   
   
pycurl-7.15.0 depends on curl-7.15.0 or later.   
   
So there is no security or dependency problem with pycurl - only with curl 
itself.
