CVE-2024-11053
December 11, 2024
A flaw was found in curl. When asked to both use a `.netrc` file for credentials and to follow HTTP redirects, curl could leak the password used for the first host to the followed-to host under certain circumstances. This flaw only manifests itself 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. Affected versions: curl 6.5 to and including 8.11.0
Affected Packages
https://github.com/curl/curl.git (GITHUB):
Affected version(s) >=curl-6_5 <curl-8_11_1
Fix Suggestion:
Update to version curl-8_11_1
