NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcurl-devel-doc package and not the libcurl-devel-doc package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

libcurl might in some circumstances reuse the wrong connection when asked to do Negotiate-authenticated ones, even when they are set to use different 'services'.

libcurl features a pool of recent connections so that subsequent requests can reuse an existing connection to avoid overhead.

When reusing a connection a range of criteria must be met. Due to a logical error in the code, a request that was issued by an application could wrongfully reuse an existing connection to the same server that was authenticated using different services.
