Type Values Removed Values Added
Description A flaw was found in curl. When curl is configured to follow HTTP redirects while performing Negotiate authentication using system-provided Kerberos credentials, it may forward authentication details to an unrelated destination. A malicious server can exploit this flaw by redirecting the client to a target URL containing embedded user credentials, resulting in information disclosure of sensitive authentication data. When using an *ambient user* in a first transfer doing Negotiate authentication and asked to follow redirects, curl could pass on its credential details to an unrelated second origin when asked to redirect there.
