Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-03 07:01:53 UTC
libcurl might in some circumstances reuse the wrong connection when asked to
do Negotiate-authenticated ones, even when they are set to use different
'services'.

libcurl features a pool of recent connections so that subsequent requests can
reuse an existing connection to avoid overhead.

When reusing a connection a range of criteria must be met. Due to a logical
error in the code, a request that was issued by an application could
wrongfully reuse an existing connection to the same server that was
authenticated using different services.
