How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:23.04 curl to version 7.88.1-8ubuntu2.4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:23.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

When saving HSTS data to an excessively long file name, curl could end up removing all contents, making subsequent requests using that file unaware of the HSTS status they should otherwise use.
