CWE-322  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:10 curl to version 0:8.19.0-3.hum1 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2026:6893.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

curl's code for managing SSH connections when SFTP was done using the wolfSSH powered backend was flawed and missed host verification mechanisms.

This prevents curl from detecting MITM attackers and more.
