CVE-2026-8458 PUBLISHED

wrong reuse for different services

Assigner: curl
Reserved: 13.05.2026 Published: 03.07.2026 Updated: 03.07.2026

libcurl might in some circumstances reuse the wrong connection when asked to do Negotiate-authenticated ones, even when they are set to use different 'services'.

libcurl features a pool of recent connections so that subsequent requests can reuse an existing connection to avoid overhead.

When reusing a connection a range of criteria must be met. Due to a logical error in the code, a request that was issued by an application could wrongfully reuse an existing connection to the same server that was authenticated using different services.
