CVE-2023-23915 – curl: HSTS amnesia with --parallel
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-23915
A cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability exists in curl <v7.88.0 that could cause HSTS functionality to behave incorrectly when multiple URLs are requested in parallel. Using its HSTS support, curl can be instructed to use HTTPS instead of using an insecure clear-text HTTP step even when HTTP is provided in the URL. This HSTS mechanism would however surprisingly fail when multiple transfers are done in parallel as the HSTS cache file gets overwritten by the most recentlycompleted transfer. A later HTTP-only transfer to the earlier host name would then *not* get upgraded properly to HSTS. A flaw was found in the Curl package, where the HSTS mechanism could fail when multiple transfers are done in parallel, as the HSTS cache file gets overwritten by the most recently completed transfer. • https://hackerone.com/reports/1826048 https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202310-12 https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20230309-0006 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-23915 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2167813 • CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information •
CVE-2023-23914 – curl: HSTS ignored on multiple requests
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-23914
A cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability exists in curl <v7.88.0 that could cause HSTS functionality fail when multiple URLs are requested serially. Using its HSTS support, curl can be instructed to use HTTPS instead of usingan insecure clear-text HTTP step even when HTTP is provided in the URL. ThisHSTS mechanism would however surprisingly be ignored by subsequent transferswhen done on the same command line because the state would not be properlycarried on. A flaw was found in the Curl package, where the HSTS mechanism would be ignored by subsequent transfers when done on the same command line because the state would not be properly carried. This issue may result in limited confidentiality and integrity. • https://hackerone.com/reports/1813864 https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202310-12 https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20230309-0006 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-23914 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2167797 • CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information •
