curl vulnerability

About this tag
The curl vulnerability tag covers discussions about security flaws in the curl and libcurl open-source library, including CVE-2026-3805 (use-after-free in SMB connection reuse), CVE-2024-2004 (low-severity logic bug), CVE-2025-10148 (predictable WebSocket mask), and CVE-2024-6197 (remote code execution). Threads examine how these vulnerabilities affect Windows users, Azure Linux, and other Microsoft products, with emphasis on patching, mitigation, and the scope of Microsoft's attestations. Topics include crash risks, information leakage, memory corruption, and the importance of updating to fixed versions like curl 8.19.0.
