MSRC_CVE-2021-22922
Vulnerability from csaf_microsoft - Published: 2021-08-02 00:00 - Updated: 2021-12-16 00:00Summary
When curl is instructed to download content using the metalink feature thecontents is verified against a hash provided in the metalink XML file.The metalink XML file points out to the client how to get the same contentfrom a set of different URLs potentially hosted by different servers and theclient can then download the file from one or several of them. In a serial orparallel manner.If one of the servers hosting the contents has been breached and the contentsof the specific file on that server is replaced with a modified payload curlshould detect this when the hash of the file mismatches after a completeddownload. It should remove the contents and instead try getting the contentsfrom another URL. This is not done and instead such a hash mismatch is onlymentioned in text and the potentially malicious content is kept in the file ondisk.
