NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Debian.

Absolute path traversal vulnerability in curl 7.20.0 through 7.21.1, when the --remote-header-name or -J option is used, allows remote servers to create or overwrite arbitrary files by using \ (backslash) as a separator of path components within the Content-disposition HTTP header.
