Upgrade curl to version 8.11.1 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 when both .netrc file for credentials are in use, and HTTP redirects are followed. This will result in a password leakage used for the first host to the followed-to host.
Note: This is only exploitable if the .netrc file has an entry that matches the redirect target hostname, but the entry either omits just the password or omits both login and password.
