Frequently Asked Questions
Which installed components should be considered in scope?
The advisory lists curl, libcurl, libcurl-minimal, libcurl-devel, and associated debuginfo and debugsource packages. Systems using either the curl command-line utility or applications linked against libcurl may be affected.
What security-sensitive uses of curl are implicated by these fixes?
The fixes cover certificate and TLS configuration validation, Negotiate authentication and HTTP proxy connection reuse, OAuth2 bearer tokens during HTTP(S) redirects, and SSH/SFTP/SCP host-key verification. Environments using these features should prioritize the update.
Are both command-line curl use and application integrations relevant?
Yes. Several issues are identified in libcurl, while others are identified in curl itself. Updating the listed curl and libcurl packages addresses both command-line use and software that relies on the library.
