CVE-2023-27536

curl: GSS delegation too eager connection re-use

Published Mar 30, 2023 CVSS 3.1 · 5.9 Medium EPSS 1.8% KEV · Not listed
Description
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists libcurl <8.0.0 in the connection reuse feature which can reuse previously established connections with incorrect user permissions due to a failure to check for changes in the CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION option. This vulnerability affects krb5/kerberos/negotiate/GSSAPI transfers and could potentially result in unauthorized access to sensitive information. The safest option is to not reuse connections if the CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION option has been changed.
