How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 mysql:8.0/mysql-server.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mysql:8.0/mysql-server package and not the mysql:8.0/mysql-server package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Due to a mistake in libcurl's WebSocket code, a malicious server can send a particularly crafted packet which makes libcurl get trapped in an endless busy-loop.

There is no other way for the application to escape or exit this loop other than killing the thread/process.

This might be used to DoS libcurl-using application.
