CVE-2017-2628  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-287  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:6 curl to version 0:7.19.7-53.el6_9 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2017-0847.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

curl, as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 before version 7.19.7-53, did not correctly backport the fix for CVE-2015-3148 because it did not reflect the fact that the HAVE_GSSAPI define was meanwhile substituted by USE_HTTP_NEGOTIATE. This issue was introduced in RHEL 6.7 and affects RHEL 6 curl only.
