This flaw allows a malicious HTTP server to set “super cookies” in curl that
are then passed back to more origins than what is otherwise allowed or
possible. This allows a site to set cookies that then would get sent to
different and unrelated sites and domains.

It could do this by exploiting a mixed case flaw in curl’s function that
verifies a given cookie domain against the Public Suffix List (PSL). For
example a cookie could be set with domain=co.UK when the URL used a
lowercase hostname curl.co.uk, even though co.uk is listed as a PSL
domain.
