CVE-2020-8286

Libcurl offers "OCSP stapling" via the CURLOPTSSLVERIFYSTATUS option. When set, libcurl verifies the OCSP response that a server responds with as part of the TLS handshake. It then aborts the TLS negotiation if something is wrong with the response. The same feature can be enabled with --cert-stat...
