Description Lukas Javorsky 2026-07-30 13:20:25 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 Josh Stone 2026-08-03 16:38:12 UTC
We delete the bundled curl sources in %prep and instead use the system libcurl, so there is nothing to fix in the rust package itself.
