  Update Information

A security update is available for curl for the following versions of
Cucumber Linux:

  * 1.0
  * 1.1

Here are the details from the Cucumber 1.1 changelog:

+----------------+
Wed May 16 10:47:05 EDT 2018
net-base/curl upgraded from 7.59.0 to 7.60.0 to fix two security
	vulnerabilities: CVE-2018-1000301, a buffer overread that could
	potentially result in information disclosure but would more likely
	result in a denial of service (application crash). It can be triggered
	by a malicious remote server. Also fixes CVE-2018-1000300, a buffer
	overflow vulnerability that allowed for a malicious an FTP server to
	write arbitrary bytes to memory by overflowing the "closure handle"
	buffer. Although no exploit is known at this time, it is quite possible
	that this could result in arbitrary code execution given the nature of
	the vulnerability. For more information see:
