Updated curl packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 17 Dec 2024
Modification date: 17 Dec 2024
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 9
CVE: CVE-2024-11053

Description

When asked to both use a .netrc file for credentials and to follow HTTP
redirects, curl could leak the password used for the first host to the
followed-to host under certain circumstances.
This flaw only manifests itself if the netrc file has an entry that
matches the redirect target hostname but the entry either omits just the
password or omits both login and password.
This update fixes this logic to avoid sending a password to the wrong
host.
