Oracle Linux: CVE-2021-22876: ELSA-2021-4511: curl security and bug fix update (MODERATE) (Multiple Advisories)
Description
curl 7.1.1 to and including 7.75.0 is vulnerable to an "Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor" by leaking credentials in the HTTP Referer: header. libcurl does not strip off user credentials from the URL when automatically populating the Referer: HTTP request header field in outgoing HTTP requests, and therefore risks leaking sensitive data to the server that is the target of the second HTTP request. It was discovered that libcurl did not remove authentication credentials from URLs when automatically populating the Referer HTTP request header while handling HTTP redirects. This could lead to exposure of the credentials to the server to which requests were redirected.
