> USN-8932-1: curl vulnerabilities

Stanislav Fort discovered that curl did not properly clear AWS SigV4 authentication state when CURLOPT_AWS_SIGV4 was set to NULL. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-86409) Stanislav Fort discovered that an HTTP proxy could trick libcurl into sending credentials to the proxy itself by responding to a CONNECT request with an unexpected authentication challenge. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-86414) Stanislav Fort discovered that curl did not correctly handle HSTS entries when an includeSubDomains parent entry was imported before a longer-lived child entry. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause curl to use unencrypted HTTP connections. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-87862) Stanislav Fort discovered that curl did not properly handle HSTS max-age values that exceeded calendar time structure bounds. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or data loss. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-87863) Stanislav Fort discovered that curl did not properly handle IMAP APPEND commands when CURLOPT_CRLF was enabled, allowing overflow bytes to be interpreted as pipelined commands. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary IMAP commands. (CVE-2026-87864) Joshua Rogers discovered that libcurl had a use-after-free vulnerability in the FTP wildcard matching code. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-92388) Joshua Rogers discovered that libcurl's TFTP state machine did not properly validate transfer directions, allowing a malicious server to force the client into transmit mode. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-92389) Joshua Rogers discovered that curl had a stack overflow vulnerability when processing deeply nested MIME structures. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-92391) Joshua Rogers discovered that libcurl could expose credentials in the URL returned by CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL when credentials were retrieved from a .netrc file. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-94266)
