CVE-2022-32206

When curl is told to use the Certificate Status Request TLS extension (OCSP stapling) to verify the server certificate, it might fail to detect some OCSP problems and wrongly consider the response as fine if the returned status reports another error than expected.

When curl is asked to use HSTS, the expiry time for a subdomain might overwrite a parent domain's cache entry, making it end sooner or later than otherwise intended. This affects applications using HSTS and URLs with the insecure HTTP:// scheme.

When curl is asked to use a `.netrc` file for credentials and to follow HTTP redirects, it could leak the password used for the first host to the followed-to host under certain circumstances. This flaw only manifests if the netrc file has an entry matching the redirect target hostname.

When curl uses a .netrc file for credentials and a URL with a username (without password) is specified, curl may wrongly retrieve and use the password of another user from .netrc for that host if no match exists for the specified user.

A double-free vulnerability has been found in the curl library's SASL authentication handling. The GSASL context is cleaned up twice without clearing the pointer, causing free() to be called on the same memory region twice.

A flaw in curl's cookie parsing logic allows a malicious HTTP server to set "super cookies" that bypass the Public Suffix List check, enabling injection of cookies that curl scopes and sends to unrelated third-party domains.

CVE-2023-38545 is a vulnerability related to heap buffer overflow during the SOCKS5 proxy handshake in curl. The issue arises when curl passes a hostname that is too long to the proxy, leading to incorrect data copying.

In curl before 7.84.0, during FTP transfers secured by krb5, message verification failures are handled incorrectly. This flaw makes it possible for a Man-In-The-Middle attack to go unnoticed and even allows it to inject data to the client.

When curl < 7.84.0 saves cookies, alt-svc and hsts data to local files, it makes the operation atomic by finalizing the operation with a rename from a temporary name to the final target file name. In that rename operation, it might accidentally *widen* the permissions for the target file, leaving the updated file accessible to more users than intended.

A malicious server can serve excessive amounts of `Set-Cookie:` headers in a HTTP response to curl and curl < 7.84.0 stores all of them. A sufficiently large amount of (big) cookies make subsequent HTTP requests to this, or other servers to which the cookies match, create requests that become larger than the threshold that curl uses internally to avoid sending crazy large requests (1048576 bytes) and instead returns an error.
