Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
It was discovered that libcurl could incorrectly reuse Negotiate authenticated HTTP connections for subsequent requests. If an application using libcurl established a Negotiate authenticated HTTP connection to a server and sent subsequent requests with different credentials, the connection could be re-used with the initial set of credentials instead of using the new ones.

Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2015-04-20 07:10:54 EDT 
libcurl keeps a pool of its last few connections around after use to
fascilitate easy, conventient and completely transparent connection re-use for
applications.

When doing HTTP requests Negotiate authenticated, the entire connnection may
become authenticated and not just the specific HTTP request which is otherwise
how HTTP works, as Negotiate can basically use NTLM under the hood. curl was
not adhering to this fact but would assume that such requests would also be
authenticated per request.

The net effect is that libcurl may end up re-using an authenticated Negotiate
connection and sending subsequent requests on it using new credentials, while
the connection remains authenticated with a previous initial credentials
setup.

We are not aware of any exploits of this flaw.

Affected versions: from libcurl 7.10.6 to and including 7.41.0

Red Hat would like to thank Daniel Stenberg (curl upstream) for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Isaac Boukris as the original reporter.
