    Summary: Updated the curl packages to fix two security vulnerabilities

    Details: curl/libcurl is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow in its SOCKS5 support that could be exploited by a remote web server when curl is configured to use a SOCKS5 proxy with remote hostname resolution. libcurl is vulnerable to a cookie injection attack where a local attacker can inject cookies into certain vulnerable applications using libcurl.
