Doc Text:
A flaw was found in libcurl when using the wolfSSL backend. When CA (Certificate Authority) caching is enabled and a CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION callback is used to replace the trust store, libcurl can silently reinstall the cached store. This can lead to a scenario where a certificate that should be rejected by the callback-selected store is incorrectly accepted if it is trusted by the cached store, resulting in improper certificate validation.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-06 18:01:29 UTC
With the wolfSSL backend, when CA caching is enabled and an
`CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION` callback replaces the trust store, libcurl can
silently reinstall the cached store after the callback returns. A certificate
trusted by the cached store but rejected by the callback-selected store is
then incorrectly accepted.
