An issue has been found in curl, a command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax. In rare circumstances, when using the multi API of curl in combination with CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY, the wrong connection might be used when transfering data later.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 7.52.1-5+deb9u12.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.

For the detailed security status of curl please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/curl

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
