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 Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data in the process of reusing transfer handles across different trust boundaries and attempting to clear AWS SigV4 authentication by resetting the option to null. An attacker can obtain access key identifiers and request signatures by intercepting requests sent to untrusted or attacker-controlled servers. This is only exploitable if an application reuses transfer handles, attempts to clear AWS SigV4 authentication, and subsequently sends requests to untrusted targets.
