1.203.0
Notably, this release addresses:
USN-7104-1 curl vulnerability:
- CVE-2024-9681:
When curl is asked to use HSTS, the expiry time for a subdomain might
overwrite a parent domain's cache entry, making it end sooner or later than
otherwise intended.
This affects curl using applications that enable HSTS and use URLs with the
insecureHTTP://
scheme and perform transfers with hosts like
x.example.com
as well asexample.com
where the first host is a
subdomain
of the second host.
(The HSTS cache either needs to have been populated manually or there needs
to
have been previous HTTPS accesses done as the cache needs to have entries
for
the domains involved to trigger this problem.)
Whenx.example.com
responds withStrict-Transport-Security:
headers,
this
bug can make the subdomain's expiry timeout bleed over and get set for
the
parent domainexample.com
in curl's HSTS cache.
The result of a triggered bug is that HTTP accesses toexample.com
get
converted to HTTPS for a different period of time than what was asked for
by
the origin server. Ifexample.com
for example stops supporting HTTPS at
its
expiry time, curl might then fail to accesshttp://example.com
until the
(wrongly set) timeout expires. This bug can also expire the parent's entry
earlier, thus making curl inadvertently switch back to insecure HTTP
earlier
than otherwise intended.
