What is CVE-2009-0037?

The redirect feature in curl and libcurl versions 5.11 through 7.19.3 contains a vulnerability when the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option is enabled, allowing attackers to receive arbitrary Location values. This issue may enable remote HTTP servers to trigger unsolicited requests to intranet servers, pose risks of reading or overwriting files through redirects to file URLs, and execute arbitrary commands via SCP redirects, effectively compromising server integrity and security.
