Medium · 5.3 CVE-2024-0853 EUVD-2024-16636GHSA-697h-9h25-w4fm

OCSP verification bypass with TLS session reuse

Published Feb 3, 2024 · Updated Jun 20, 2025 · Assigned by curl

Description

curl inadvertently kept the SSL session ID for connections in its cache even when the verify status (*OCSP stapling*) test failed. A subsequent transfer to
the same hostname could then succeed if the session ID cache was still fresh, which then skipped the verify status check.
