The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary cookies into request.
The vulnerability exists due to the way cookies are handled by libcurl. If a transfer has cookies enabled when the handle is duplicated, the
cookie-enable state is also cloned - but without cloning the actual
cookies. If the source handle did not read any cookies from a specific
file on disk, the cloned version of the handle would instead store the
file name as none (using the four ASCII letters, no quotes).
none - if such a file exists and is readable in the current directory of the program using libcurl. 22) Expected behavior violation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28322)
CWE-ID: CWE-440 - Expected Behavior Violation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
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.
23) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-31573)
CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
