- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3951-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Abhijith PA November 14, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Package : curl Version : 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u14 CVE ID : CVE-2024-8096

curl a command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax was affected by CVE-2024-8096. When the TLS backend is GnuTLS, curl may incorrectly handle OCSP stapling. If the OCSP status reports an error other than revoked (e.g., unauthorized), it is not treated as a bad certificate, potentially allowing invalid certificates to be considered valid.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u14.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
