Package : curl
CVE ID : CVE-2026-92392
It was discovered that the cURL URL transfer library, is prone to a
use-after-free vulnerability when handling a HTTP/2 RST_STREAM received
by a server during an upload, which could result in remote code
execution.
For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
version 8.14.1-2+deb13u7. The update additionally contains fixes for
CVE-2026-8286, CVE-2026-8924 and CVE-2026-8927 which were planned to be
released with the trixie 13.8 point release.
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
