block/curl: disable extra protocols to prevent CVE-2013-0249
There is a buffer overflow in libcurl POP3/SMTP/IMAP. The workaround is simple: disable extra protocols so that they cannot be exploited. Full details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20130206.html QEMU only cares about HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, and TFTP. I have tested that this fix prevents the exploit on my host with libcurl-7.27.0-5.fc18. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
