    Summary: Updated curl packages fix CVE-2013-4545

    Details: Updated curl packages fix security vulnerability: Scott Cantor discovered that curl, a file retrieval tool, would disable the CURLOPT_SSLVERIFYHOST check when the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER setting was disabled. This would also disable ssl certificate host name checks when it should have only disabled verification of the certificate trust chain (CVE-2013-4545).
