CVE-2016-0755 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:13
curl
to version 7.47.0-1 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 Debian
.
See How to fix?
for Debian:13
relevant fixed versions and status.
The ConnectionExists function in lib/url.c in libcurl before 7.47.0 does not properly re-use NTLM-authenticated proxy connections, which might allow remote attackers to authenticate as other users via a request, a similar issue to CVE-2014-0015.
