Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0015)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

cURL and libcurl 7.10.6 through 7.34.0, when more than one authentication method is enabled, re-uses NTLM connections, which might allow context-dependent attackers to authenticate as other users via a request.


2) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-0755)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

The ConnectionExists function in lib/url.c in libcurl before 7.47.0 does not properly re-use NTLM-authenticated proxy connections, which might allow remote attackers to authenticate as other users via a request, a similar issue to CVE-2014-0015.
