Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Unsynchronized access to shared data in a multithreaded context (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-14017)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when performing multithreaded LDAPS transfers (LDAP over TLS) with libcurl. Changing TLS options in one thread would inadvertently change them globally and therefore possibly also affect other concurrently setup transfers. For example, disabling certificate verification for a specific transfer could unintentionally disable the feature for other threads as well, leading to a MitM attacks against other websites.
