Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA and Red Hat.

Summary

curl versions 8.9.0, 8.9.1, 8.10.0, 8.10.1, 8.11.0, 8.11.1, 8.12.0, 8.12.1, 8.13.0, 8.14.0, 8.14.1, 8.15.0, 8.16.0, 8.17.0, 8.18.0, 8.19.0, 8.20.0, 8.21.0 and 8.22.0 are affected. With one of the documented CURLOPT_INTERFACE prefixes, the binding is left out of the connection reuse key, so a later transfer can silently reuse a connection and use the earlier transfer's source address. The CVSS vector describes a remote, high complexity attack that needs no privileges or user interaction.

Written with Claude Haiku 5.5 from the sources below · 2026-10-30

Description from the CNA

When `CURLOPT_INTERFACE` (or the command line tool's `--interface` option) is set with one of the documented prefixes (`if!`, `host!`, `ifhost!`), that binding is not part of the connection reuse key, so a later transfer asking for a different source can silently reuse an existing connection and go out from the earlier transfer's source address
