Description
A flaw was found in curl. In builds configured with the Microsoft Schannel Transport Layer Security (TLS) backend, libcurl's connection cache fails to evaluate client certificate authentication settings when handling HTTP redirects. A malicious server can redirect a transfer to a different destination, causing curl to inappropriately reuse an already authenticated connection. This issue can result in information disclosure by exposing client certificates and credentials to unintended origins.
