What to do
AI-suggested
Red Hat has not provided an official fix for this vulnerability in the AI Base Images 3.0.9 (Spyre) as of the advisory date. The recommended mitigation is to avoid reusing libcurl easy handles across different HTTP origins when using Digest authentication. Applications should create fresh libcurl handles for each origin or explicitly clear authentication-related state before reusing handles. Upgrading libcurl to version 8.21.0 or later, where the flaw is fixed, is advised when possible.
Description
CVE-2026-11856 is a moderate-severity vulnerability in libcurl used in Red Hat AI Base Images 3.0.9 (Spyre). It occurs when libcurl reuses the same connection handle for HTTP Digest authentication transfers to different origins, potentially sending authentication headers intended for one origin to another. This can lead to unintended information disclosure of authenticated state data. The flaw affects libcurl versions from 7.10.6 up to 8.20.0 and is fixed in 8.21.0. Mitigation involves correct usage of libcurl handles by creating fresh handles for different origins or explicitly clearing authentication state before reuse.
