Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl-minimal package and not the curl-minimal package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

An improper authentication vulnerability exists in curl 7.33.0 to and including 7.82.0 which might allow reuse OAUTH2-authenticated connections without properly making sure that the connection was authenticated with the same credentials as set for this transfer. This affects SASL-enabled protocols: SMPTP(S), IMAP(S), POP3(S) and LDAP(S) (openldap only).
