CVE-2018-20483 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 curl.
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:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
set_file_metadata in xattr.c in GNU Wget before 1.20.1 stores a file's origin URL in the user.xdg.origin.url metadata attribute of the extended attributes of the downloaded file, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information (e.g., credentials contained in the URL) by reading this attribute, as demonstrated by getfattr. This also applies to Referer information in the user.xdg.referrer.url metadata attribute. According to 2016-07-22 in the Wget ChangeLog, user.xdg.origin.url was partially based on the behavior of fwrite_xattr in tool_xattr.c in curl.
