curl: SMTP connection reuse ignores --ssl-reqd / CURLOPT_USE_SSL and reuses a clear-text STARTTLS session on current master

Summary: Current master reintroduces a STARTTLS connection-reuse bug in SMTP. After commit 91dcf4e610 url: urlmatchdestination fix, curl/libcurl can reuse an already-established clear-text smtp:// session for a later logical request that explicitly requires TLS via --ssl-reqd or CURLOPTUSESSL =...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in curl

When curl version 7.20.0 or later connects to an IMAP or POP3 server to retrieve data using STARTTLS to upgrade to TLS security, the server can send multiple responses at once, which are cached by curl. In this case, curl upgrades to TLS, but it does not discard the cached responses. Instead, it...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Ruby2.5, JRuby

A issue was discovered in Ruby between versions 2.6.7, 2.7.x up to 2.7.3, and 3.x up to 3.0.1. The Net::IMAP library does not raise an exception when the StartTLS command fails with an unknown response. This may allow man-in-the-middle attackers to bypass TLS protections by leveraging the network...
