CVSS v3.1 |
| When reusing a libcurl handle for sequential transfers driven by
environment-variable proxy configuration, libcurl fails to clear the proxy
authentication state between requests. Specifically, if the initial transfer
authenticates against `proxyA` using Digest auth, a subsequent transfer routed
through `proxyB` erroneously leaks the `Proxy-Authorization:` header intended
solely for `proxyA`. |
| Calling `curl_easy_pause()` within the event-based `CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION`
callback triggers a use-after-free vulnerability, where libcurl attempts to
store a flag using a dangling struct pointer immediately after that pointer's
memory has been freed. |
| A vulnerability exists where a new transfer that uses STARTTLS to upgrade the
connection might reuse an existing live connection even though the TLS
configuration mismatches so it should not. |
| libcurl had a flaw that when instructed to clear proxy authentication
credentials which made it not do so, leaving the old credentials around to get
used for subsequent transfers that should not know nor use them. |
| Successfully using libcurl to do a transfer over a specific HTTP proxy
(`proxyA`) with **Digest** authentication and then changing the proxy host to
a second one (`proxyB`) for a second transfer, reusing the same handle, makes
libcurl wrongly pass on the `Proxy-Authorization:` header field meant for
`proxyA`, to `proxyB`. |
| curl would wrongly reuse an existing HTTP proxy connection doing CONNECT to a
server, even if the new request uses different credentials for the HTTP proxy.
The proper behavior is to create or use a separate connection. |
| curl's code for managing SSH connections when SFTP was done using the wolfSSH
powered backend was flawed and missed host verification mechanisms.
This prevents curl from detecting MITM attackers and more. |
| When curl is told to use the Certificate Status Request TLS extension, often
referred to as *OCSP stapling*, to verify that the server certificate is
valid, it fails to detect OCSP problems and instead wrongly consider the
response as fine. |
| Using libcurl, when a custom `Host:` header is first set for an HTTP request
and a second request is subsequently done using the same *easy handle* but
without the custom `Host:` header set, the second request would use stale
information and pass on cookies meant for the first host in the second
request. Leak them. |
| A vulnerability exists where a connection requiring TLS incorrectly reuses an
existing unencrypted connection from the same connection pool. If an initial
transfer is made in clear-text (via IMAP, SMTP, or POP3), a subsequent request
to that same host bypasses the TLS requirement and instead transmit data
unencrypted. |
| curl might erroneously pass on credentials for a first proxy to a second
proxy.
This can happen when the following conditions are true:
1. curl is setup to use specific different proxies for different URL schemes
2. the first proxy needs credentials
3. the second proxy uses no credentials
4. while using the first proxy (using say `http://`), curl is asked to follow
a redirect to a URL using another scheme (say `https://`), accessed using a
second, different, proxy |
| When saving HSTS data to an excessively long file name, curl could end up
removing all contents, making subsequent requests using that file unaware of
the HSTS status they should otherwise use. |
| This flaw allows a malicious HTTP server to set "super cookies" in curl that
are then passed back to more origins than what is otherwise allowed or
possible. This allows a site to set cookies that then would get sent to
different and unrelated sites and domains.
It could do this by exploiting a mixed case flaw in curl's function that
verifies a given cookie domain against the Public Suffix List (PSL). For
example a cookie could be set with `domain=co.UK` when the URL used a lower
case hostname `curl.co.uk`, even though `co.uk` is listed as a PSL domain. |
| Double-free vulnerability in the FTP-kerberos code in cURL 7.52.0 to 7.65.3. |
| The ourWriteOut function in tool_writeout.c in curl 7.53.1 might allow physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory in opportunistic circumstances by reading a workstation screen during use of a --write-out argument ending in a '%' character, which leads to a heap-based buffer over-read. |
| curl supports "globbing" of URLs, in which a user can pass a numerical range to have the tool iterate over those numbers to do a sequence of transfers. In the globbing function that parses the numerical range, there was an omission that made curl read a byte beyond the end of the URL if given a carefully crafted, or just wrongly written, URL. The URL is stored in a heap based buffer, so it could then be made to wrongly read something else instead of crashing. An example of a URL that triggers the flaw would be `http://ur%20[0-60000000000000000000`. |
| A heap use-after-free flaw was found in curl versions from 7.59.0 through 7.61.1 in the code related to closing an easy handle. When closing and cleaning up an 'easy' handle in the `Curl_close()` function, the library code first frees a struct (without nulling the pointer) and might then subsequently erroneously write to a struct field within that already freed struct. |
| A flaw was found in curl before version 7.51.0. The way curl handles cookies permits other threads to trigger a use-after-free leading to information disclosure. |
| curl before version 7.51.0 doesn't parse the authority component of the URL correctly when the host name part ends with a '#' character, and could instead be tricked into connecting to a different host. This may have security implications if you for example use an URL parser that follows the RFC to check for allowed domains before using curl to request them. |
| A flaw was found in curl before version 7.51. If cookie state is written into a cookie jar file that is later read back and used for subsequent requests, a malicious HTTP server can inject new cookies for arbitrary domains into said cookie jar. |
