CWE-201  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:8 curl to version 0:7.61.1-30.el8_8.9 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2024:0585.

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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

This flaw allows a malicious HTTP server to set "super cookies" in curl that are then passed back to more origins than what is otherwise allowed or possible. This allows a site to set cookies that then would get sent to different and unrelated sites and domains.

It could do this by exploiting a mixed case flaw in curl's function that verifies a given cookie domain against the Public Suffix List (PSL). For example a cookie could be set with domain=co.UK when the URL used a lower case hostname curl.co.uk, even though co.uk is listed as a PSL domain.
