Description
A flaw was found in libcurl when libpsl support is enabled. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by setting a Set-Cookie header with a Domain attribute that explicitly matches a public suffix. This improper handling causes libcurl to save the cookie with a wildcard domain scope, leading to the cookie being inappropriately sent to arbitrary sibling subdomains under the same public suffix. This could result in sensitive information disclosure.
Statement
Red Hat rates this vulnerability as Low because the resulting impact is limited to cookie leakage to sibling subdomains under a suffix, not data modification or system compromise.
