Description Lukas Javorsky 2026-07-30 13:19:55 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.

When reusing a libcurl handle for sequential transfers driven by
environment-variable proxy configuration, libcurl fails to clear the proxy
authentication state between requests. Specifically, if the initial transfer
authenticates against `proxyA` using Digest auth, a subsequent transfer routed
through `proxyB` erroneously leaks the `Proxy-Authorization:` header intended
solely for `proxyA`.

Comment 1 Michel Lind 2026-08-04 17:31:02 UTC
Reassigning from `epel10` to `epel9`: Bug filed against a branch the package never shipped on.

Comment 2 Fabio Valentini 2026-08-11 10:17:16 UTC
This is also a bug in curl, which is *linked to* by nushell, but not *included* in it.
So this issue can only be addressed in curl itself.
