CWE-305  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 libcurl.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcurl package and not the libcurl package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

When doing SSH-based transfers using either SCP or SFTP, and asked to do public key authentication, curl would wrongly still ask and authenticate using a locally running SSH agent.
