How to fix?

Upgrade curl to version 8.23.0 or higher.

Overview

curl is a command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET and TFTP. libcurl offers a myriad of powerful features.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure via the TFTP transfer process. An attacker can obtain sensitive information by manipulating the server's response to a download request, causing the client to transmit residual data from previous operations when a persistent connection handle is reused. This is only exploitable if a persistent library handle is reused across unrelated operations, such as an upload followed by a TFTP download from an untrusted server.
