  - libcurl would reuse a previously created connection even when a TLS or SSHrelated option had been changed
    that should have prohibited reuse.libcurl keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for
    subsequenttransfers to reuse if one of them matches the setup. However, several TLS andSSH settings were
    left out from the configuration match checks, making themmatch too easily. (CVE-2022-27782)
