What to do
AI-suggested
A fix is available in libcurl version 8.21.0. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. If upgrading is not immediately possible, applications should avoid reusing the same libcurl easy handle for transfers to different HTTP origins when using Digest authentication, or explicitly clear authentication-related state before reuse. No other mitigations meet Red Hat's criteria for ease of use and applicability.
Description
A vulnerability exists in libcurl used by Red Hat AI Base Images 3.4.8 (TPU) involving incorrect reuse of Digest authentication headers across different HTTP origins. This flaw can cause the authentication header intended for one origin to be sent to another, potentially disclosing sensitive authentication state. The issue affects libcurl versions from 7.10.6 up to 8.20.0 and is fixed in version 8.21.0. The vulnerability requires a specific programming pattern of reusing the same libcurl handle across different HTTP origins with Digest authentication. No exploits are known in the wild, and the impact is limited to information disclosure of authenticated state, not credentials themselves.
