a connection reuse vulnerability:

  - When CURLOPT_INTERFACE (or the command line tool's --interface option) is set with one of the
    documented prefixes (if!, host!, ifhost!), that binding is not part of the connection reuse key, so
    a later transfer asking for a different source can silently reuse an existing connection and go out
    from the earlier transfer's source address. (CVE-2026-107929)
