📄 Description (English)

libcurl might in some circumstances reuse the wrong connection when asked to
do an authenticated HTTP(S) request after a Negotiate-authenticated one, when
both use the same host.

libcurl features a pool of recent connections so that subsequent requests can
reuse an existing connection to avoid overhead.

When reusing a connection a range of criteria must be met. Due to a logical
error in the code, a request that was issued by an application could
wrongfully reuse an existing connection to the same server that was
authenticated using different credentials.

An application that first uses Negotiate authentication to a server with
`user1:password1` and then does another operation to the same server asking
for any authentication method but for `user2:password2` (while the previous
connection is still alive) - the second request gets confused and wrongly
reuses the same connection and sends the new request over that connection
thinking it uses a mix of user1's and user2's credentials when it is in fact
still using the connection authenticated for user1...

🤖 AI Executive Summary

libcurl may incorrectly reuse authenticated connections between requests with different credentials when using Negotiate authentication, potentially exposing sensitive data. This vulnerability affects applications that perform sequential authenticated requests to the same host with different user credentials.

📄 Description (Arabic)

تحتوي libcurl على خطأ منطقي في إدارة مجموعة الاتصالات المعاد استخدامها يسمح بإعادة استخدام اتصال مصرح به بشكل خاطئ بين طلبات بيانات اعتماد مختلفة. عندما يقوم التطبيق بطلب مصرح به باستخدام Negotiate لمستخدم واحد ثم يقوم بعملية أخرى لنفس الخادم بمستخدم مختلف، قد يتم إرسال الطلب الثاني عبر الاتصال الخاطئ.

🤖 ملخص تنفيذي (AI)

libcurl قد يعيد استخدام الاتصالات المصرح بها بشكل غير صحيح بين الطلبات ذات بيانات اعتماد مختلفة عند استخدام مصادقة Negotiate. قد يؤثر هذا على التطبيقات التي تقوم بطلبات متتالية مصرح بها لنفس المضيف ببيانات اعتماد مستخدم مختلفة.
