How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 libcurl-minimal to version 0:7.61.1-22.el8 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcurl-minimal package and not the libcurl-minimal package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

curl 7.7 through 7.76.1 suffers from an information disclosure when the -t command line option, known as CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS in libcurl, is used to send variable=content pairs to TELNET servers. Due to a flaw in the option parser for sending NEW_ENV variables, libcurl could be made to pass on uninitialized data from a stack based buffer to the server, resulting in potentially revealing sensitive internal information to the server using a clear-text network protocol.
