How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:10 curl to version 0:8.22.0-0.1.hum1 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2026:63161.

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.

When libpsl support is enabled, libcurl fails to enforce the Public Suffix List boundary check when processing a Set-Cookie header where the Domain attribute explicitly matches an origin host that is itself a public suffix (e.g., Domain=co.uk set by co.uk).

Instead of coercing it into a strict host-only cookie, libcurl saves the cookie with wildcard domain scope (.co.uk). Consequently, the cookie is inappropriately included in subsequent outbound requests or HTTP redirects to arbitrary sibling subdomains under the same public suffix (e.g., attacker.co.uk).
