curl: libcurl: curl/libcurl: Remote denial of service via QUIC UDP receive function vulnerability

A flaw was found in curl and libcurl. A malicious HTTP/3 server can exploit an issue in the QUIC UDP receive function by continuously streaming empty UDP datagrams. This can lead to a remote denial of service DoS against a curl or libcurl client, as the helper function discards zero-length UDP...

curl: CVE-2026-13608: OpenLDAP SASL authentication bypass

A vulnerability was discovered in the OpenLDAP SASL authentication mechanism in libcurl. The vulnerability could allow a malicious LDAP server to bypass SASL authentication, potentially allowing the injection of arbitrary LDAP results. The vulnerable code has been present since the OpenLDAP SASL...

env-set cross-proxy Digest auth state leak

When reusing a libcurl handle for sequential transfers driven by environment-variable proxy configuration, libcurl fails to clear the proxy authentication state between requests. Specifically, if the initial transfer authenticates against proxyA using Digest auth, a subsequent transfer routed...

cross-origin Digest auth state leak

Successfully using libcurl to do a transfer to a specific HTTP origin hostA with Digest authentication and then changing the origin to a different one hostB for a second transfer, reusing the same handle, makes libcurl wrongly pass on the Authorization: header field meant for hostA, to hostB...

UAF after pause in socket callback

Calling curleasypause within the event-based CURLMOPTSOCKETFUNCTION callback triggers a use-after-free vulnerability, where libcurl attempts to store a flag using a dangling struct pointer immediately after that pointer's memory has been freed...

CURL-CVE-2026-8458 wrong reuse for different services

libcurl might in some circumstances reuse the wrong connection when asked to do Negotiate-authenticated ones, even when they are set to use different "services". libcurl features a pool of recent connections so that subsequent requests can reuse an existing connection to avoid overhead. When...

proto-default skips SSH verification

When a user invokes curl using a schemeless URL combined with --proto-default sftp or scp, a disconnect occurs between the tool layer and libcurl. The tool layer incorrectly infers the URL scheme, which erroneously bypasses the initialization of critical SSH security options like...

Native CA trust persist

libcurl keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent transfers to reuse if one of them matches the setup. An easy handle that first uses default native CA trust can continue trusting the native platform store after the application switches that same handle to custom CA...

stale proxy password leak

libcurl had a flaw that when instructed to clear proxy authentication credentials which made it not do so, leaving the old credentials around to get used for subsequent transfers that should not know nor use them...

HTTP/2 stream-dependency tree UAF

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in libcurl when an application configures an HTTP/2 stream-dependency tree via CURLOPTSTREAMDEPENDS or CURLOPTSTREAMDEPENDSE, subsequently invokes curleasyreset, and finally terminates the handle with curleasycleanup. During this final cleanup phase, libcurl...

sending old referer

A vulnerability in libcurl caused the HTTP Referer: header to persist even when explicitly cleared. While the documentation states that passing NULL to CURLOPTREFERER suppresses the header, the option failed to clear the internal state. As a result, the previous referrer string was erroneously...

CURL-CVE-2026-10536 HTTP/2 stream-dependency tree UAF

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in libcurl when an application configures an HTTP/2 stream-dependency tree via CURLOPTSTREAMDEPENDS or CURLOPTSTREAMDEPENDSE, subsequently invokes curleasyreset, and finally terminates the handle with curleasycleanup. During this final cleanup phase, libcurl...
