Description
A flaw was found in curl. When processing an HTTP redirect to an address containing user credentials, curl improperly retains and retransmits authentication state. A malicious server can exploit this behavior by redirecting curl to an untrusted destination, forcing the client to transmit sensitive authentication tokens, such as Kerberos tickets, to the third party. This flaw can lead to unauthorized information disclosure of user credentials across domain boundaries.
