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.

libcurl had a flaw that when instructed to clear proxy authentication
credentials which made it not do so, leaving the old credentials around to get
used for subsequent transfers that should not know nor use them.

Comment 1 Fabio Valentini 2026-09-01 15:57:04 UTC
rustup only dynamically links libcurl, and does not include curl itself.
This bug needs to be fixed in the "curl" package and nothing can be done here.
