RHSA-2026:41240
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-07-17 13:46 - Updated: 2026-08-10 01:27A flaw was found in libcurl. An attacker can exploit this by replacing a legitimate HTTP/3 server with an impostor machine. When libcurl attempts a second transfer to the same site with a cached SSL session and early data enabled, it may send sensitive request data before verifying the server's certificate. This could lead to the disclosure of sensitive information to the attacker.

A flaw was found in libcurl. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs when an application configures an HTTP/2 stream-dependency tree and then performs a sequence of operations involving `curl_easy_reset()` and `curl_easy_cleanup()`. During the final cleanup, libcurl attempts to access memory that has already been released. This can lead to application crashes, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

A flaw in nghttp2's nghttpx proxy allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling and cross-client response-queue poisoning. This occurs because the proxy ambiguously forwards HTTP/1.1 Upgrade requests that contain a Content-Length header to reusable keep-alive backend connections.
