CVE-2016-5419  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-310  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.15 curl to version 7.50.1-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.15 relevant fixed versions and status.

curl and libcurl before 7.50.1 do not prevent TLS session resumption when the client certificate has changed, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions by resuming a session.
