curl is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack. A null prefix attack caused by incorrect handling of NULL characters in X.509 certificates allows an attacker obtain a carefully-crafted certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Authority, the attacker could use the certificate during a man-in-the-middle attack and potentially confuse cURL into accepting it by mistake.
