8) Expected behavior violation

EUVDB-ID: #VU76238

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28322

CWE-ID: CWE-440 - Expected Behavior Violation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a logic error when sending HTTP POST and PUT requests using the same handle. The libcurl can erroneously use the read callback (CURLOPT_READFUNCTION) to ask for data to send, even when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option has been set, if the same handle previously was used to issue a PUT request which used that callback. As a result, the application can misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
