Upgrade Debian:13 curl to version 7.88.1-7 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.
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists libcurl <8.0.0 in the connection reuse feature which can reuse previously established connections with incorrect user permissions due to a failure to check for changes in the CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION option. This vulnerability affects krb5/kerberos/negotiate/GSSAPI transfers and could potentially result in unauthorized access to sensitive information. The safest option is to not reuse connections if the CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION option has been changed.
