Description

A flaw was found in curl. When an application uses libcurl to make multiple Negotiate-authenticated HTTP or HTTPS requests to the same server with different credentials, libcurl may incorrectly reuse an existing connection. This logical error can cause a subsequent request to be sent using the authentication of a previous user, leading to an authentication bypass.
