curl: curl: Denial of Service via WebSocket PING flood

A flaw was found in curl. A malicious server can exploit this vulnerability by sending rapid, sequential WebSocket PING messages. Due to a lack of an upper bound on memory allocation for unacknowledged frames, curl can be forced to exhaust all available memory, leading to a denial of service...

USN-8487-1: curl vulnerabilities

Andrew Nesbitt discovered that curl could reuse an existing live connection during STARTTLS-based connection upgrades even when the TLS configuration did not match. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause curl to use an unintended TLS configuration. CVE-2026-8286 Muhamad Arga...

curl: ssh_config_matches is dead code: unauthorized SSH key reuse

Summary libcurl's SSH connection-reuse guard sshconfigmatches — added for CVE-2022-27782 and reaffirmed by CVE-2023-27538 — is dead code in every release since 7.83.1. It compares sshc-rsa / sshc-rsapub between a new transfer "needle" and a pooled connection, but on both sides those pointers are...

curl: mbedTLS / wolfSSL / rustls backends silently skip hostname verification when CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER=0

Summary When an application sets CURLOPTSSLVERIFYPEER=0 while keeping CURLOPTSSLVERIFYHOST=2 the default, the mbedTLS, wolfSSL, and rustls TLS backends silently skip the hostname-vs-certificate check. The OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and Schannel backends correctly preserve hostname checking under the same...

Curl 7.46.0 < 8.21.0 Trailing Dot Domain Super Cookie

The version of curl installed on the remote host is 7.46.0 prior to 8.21.0. It is, therefore, affected by a cookie injection vulnerability: - A flaw in curl's cookie parsing logic allows a malicious HTTP server to set super cookies that bypass the Public Suffix List check. CVE-2026-8924 Note that...

Curl 8.15.0 < 8.21.0 SASL Double-Free

The version of curl installed on the remote host is 8.15.0 prior to 8.21.0. It is, therefore, affected by a double-free vulnerability: - The curl logic that works with SASL authentication could end up cleaning up the GSASL context twice without clearing the pointer in between, making it free the...

Curl 8.16.0 < 8.21.0 WebSocket Auto-PONG Memory Exhaustion

The version of curl installed on the remote host is 8.16.0 prior to 8.21.0. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability: - Because curl lacks an upper bound on memory allocation for unacknowledged WebSocket frames, a malicious server can exhaust all available memory by floodin...

Curl 7.30.0 < 8.21.0 Wrong STARTTLS Connection Reuse

The version of curl installed on the remote host is 7.30.0 prior to 8.21.0. It is, therefore, affected by an improper certificate validation vulnerability: - A vulnerability exists where a new transfer that uses STARTTLS to upgrade the connection might reuse an existing live connection even thoug...

libcurl 8.13.0 < 8.21.0 Use-After-Free in Socket Callback

The version of libcurl installed on the remote host is 8.13.0 prior to 8.21.0. It is, therefore, affected by a use-after-free vulnerability: - Calling curleasypause within the event-based CURLMOPTSOCKETFUNCTION callback triggers a use-after-free vulnerability. CVE-2026-9080 Note that Nessus has n...

Curl 8.18.0 < 8.21.0 QUIC Zero-Length UDP Datagrams DoS

The version of curl installed on the remote host is 8.18.0 prior to 8.21.0. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability: - An issue in curl's QUIC UDP receive function allows a malicious HTTP/3 server to trigger a remote denial of service by continuously streaming empty...

Curl 8.11.0 < 8.21.0 HTTP/3 Early Data Information Disclosure

The version of curl installed on the remote host is 8.11.0 prior to 8.21.0. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability: - When libcurl returns to a hostname with a cached SSL session and early data enabled, libcurl might send the request bytes before enforcing the...

Curl 7.81.0 < 8.21.0 Proto-Default Skips SSH Verification

The version of curl installed on the remote host is 7.81.0 prior to 8.21.0. It is, therefore, affected by an improper host validation vulnerability: - When a user invokes curl using a schemeless URL combined with --proto-default sftp, a disconnect occurs that erroneously bypasses the initializati...

Curl 8.11.1 < 8.21.0 Netrc Password Leak
