Description Jon Moroney 2026-07-06 19:32:32 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

In this scenario, libcurl first uses a proper HTTP/3 server for the initial
transfers, and when it makes a second transfer to the same site it has been
replaced by the attacker's impostor machine - without a valid certificate.

When libcurl returns to the hostname the second time with a cached SSL session
(`CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE` is not disabled) and early data enabled (the
`CURLSSLOPT_EARLYDATA` bit is set in `CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS`), libcurl might
send off the second request's bytes on that new connection *before* enforcing
the certificate verification failure. Potentially leaking sensitive
information.

Comment 1 Mihai Patrascoiu 2026-07-14 13:03:03 UTC
Hello,

The CVE-2026-9545 vulnerability impacts curl versions 8.11.0 --> 8.20.0.
Davix embeds curl v7.69.0 for EPEL8, whereas for all other platforms it uses the system-provided curl.

This vulnerability does not impact Davix.
Closing.

Cheers,
Mihai
