Type Values Removed Values Added
Description A flaw was found in curl. When ambient user credentials—where authentication is handled implicitly without providing a username—are used, curl may improperly reuse an existing connection authenticated via Negotiate for a different server origin. This improper connection reuse can cause requests intended for one server to be transmitted over an established connection to another, potentially resulting in information disclosure. When using ambient user credentials, an HTTP request directed to one origin may be dispatched over a connection previously authenticated via Negotiate for a different origin, leaving the request's intended credentials unused.
