CVE-2024-0853
Description
A flaw was found in Curl, where it inadvertently kept the SSL session ID for connections in its cache even when the verify status, OCSP stapling test, failed. A subsequent transfer to the same hostname could succeed if the session ID cache were still fresh, which then skips the verify status check.
Statement
This CVE only affects upstream Curl version 8.5.0. No Red Hat products are affected by this CVE.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
