Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU62641
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27774
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to curl attempts to follow redirects during authentication process and does not consider different port numbers or protocols to be separate authentication targets. If the web application performs redirection to a different port number of protocol, cURL will allow such redirection and will pass credentials. It could also leak the TLS SRP credentials this way.
By default, curl only allows redirects to HTTP(S) and FTP(S), but can be asked to allow redirects to all protocols curl supports.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
How the attacker can exploit this vulnerability?
The attacker would have to send a specially crafted request to the affected application in order to exploit this vulnerability.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Resource management error
EUVDB-ID: #VU62643
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27775
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources when handling IPv6 protocol. Due to errors in the logic, the config matching function did not take the IPv6 address zone id into account which could lead to libcurl reusing the wrong connection when one transfer uses a zone id and a subsequent transfer uses another (or no) zone id.

3) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU62644
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27776
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to curl can leak authentication or cookie header data during HTTP redirects to the same host but another port number. When asked to send custom headers or cookies in its HTTP requests, curl sends that set of headers only to the host which name is used in the initial URL, so that redirects to other hosts will make curl send the data to those. However, due to a flawed check, curl wrongly also sends that same set of headers to the hosts that are identical to the first one but use a different port number or URL scheme.
The vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for #VU10224 (CVE-2018-1000007).
