Doc Text:
It was found that the libcurl library using the NSS (Network Security Services) library as TLS/SSL backend incorrectly re-used client certificates for subsequent TLS connections in certain cases. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to hijack the authentication of the connection by leveraging a previously created connection with a different client certificate.

Description Adam Mariš 2016-09-05 10:41:01 EDT
After testing original CVE-2016-5420 patch, it was discovered that libcurl built on top of NSS (Network Security Services) still incorrectly re-uses client certificates if a certificate from file is used for one TLS connection but no certificate is set for a subsequent TLS connection.

The original patch for CVE-2016-5420 has been amended to also contain the attached patch:
