Descriptions

curl before version 7.51.0 uses outdated IDNA 2003 standard to handle International Domain Names and this may lead users to potentially and unknowingly issue network transfer requests to the wrong host.

curl en versiones anteriores a la 7.51.0 emplea el estándar IDNA 2003 obsoleto para gestionar nombres de dominio internacionales, lo que podría hacer que los usuarios envíen peticiones de transferencia de red al host erróneo sin darse cuenta.
