Description Michalis Papadopoullos 2026-07-08 09:37:10 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.

Successfully using libcurl to do a transfer to a specific HTTP origin
(`hostA`) with **Digest** authentication and then changing the origin to a
different one (`hostB`) for a second transfer, reusing the same handle, makes
libcurl wrongly pass on the  `Authorization:` header field meant for `hostA`,
to `hostB`.
