CVE-2025-10966

curl's code for managing SSH connections when SFTP was done using the wolfSSH powered backend was flawed and missed host verification mechanisms. As the wolfSSH backend was documented as incomplete and fail tests, it is not expected that many users execute this code in production.

This vulnerability doesn't affect any supported Red Hat product. This flaw affects only curl when built with wolfSSH backend support, meanwhile for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and other Red Hat products the default SSH backend being use is libssh. It's not possible to change this configuration in runtime, as it's a build time only configuration.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
