curl vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 23.10
- Ubuntu 23.04
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in curl.

Software Description:
- curl: HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP client and client libraries

Details:

Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly handled mixed case cookie
domains. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to set cookies
that get sent to different and unrelated sites and domains.
(CVE-2023-46218)

Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered that curl incorrectly handled long file
names when saving HSTS data. This could result in curl losing HSTS data,
and subsequent requests to a site would be done without it, contrary to
expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.04 and Ubuntu 23.10.
(CVE-2023-46219)
