Description Marian Rehak 2023-05-10 09:05:19 UTC 
When doing HTTP(S) transfers, libcurl might erroneously use the read callback (`CURLOPT_READFUNCTION`) to ask for data to send, even when the `CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS` option has been set, if the same handle previously was used to issue a `PUT` request which used that callback. This flaw may surprise the application and cause it to misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer. The problem exists in the logic for a reused handle when it is (expected to be) changed from a PUT to a POST.

Comment 4 Jan Pazdziora 2023-07-25 16:06:39 UTC 
Hello,

while doing review of the Vulnerability Assessment report of RHEL 8.6 for the purpose of Common Criteria certification, we came across this CVE. The CVE page https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-28322 has Statement

  This vulnerability does not affect the Curl package as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7 and 8.

What is the specific reason why RHEL 8 is not affected?

Thank you, Jan
