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.

A vulnerability in libcurl caused the HTTP `Referer:` header to persist even
when explicitly cleared. While the documentation states that passing NULL to
`CURLOPT_REFERER` suppresses the header, the option failed to clear the
internal state. As a result the previous referrer string was erroneously
reused and sent in subsequent requests, potentially leaking sensitive
information to unintended servers.
