curl and libcurl before 7.50.2, when built with NSS and the libnsspem.so library is available at runtime, allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of a TLS connection by leveraging reuse of a previously loaded client certificate from file for a connection for which no certificate has been set, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-5420.

Affected: Ubuntu:14.04:LTS: curl, Ubuntu:16.04:LTS: curl

It was discovered that curl incorrectly reused client certificates when built with NSS. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to hijack the authentication of a TLS connection. (CVE-2016-7141)

Nguyen Vu Hoang discovered that curl incorrectly handled escaping certain strings. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-7167)

It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled storing cookies. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to inject cookies for arbitrary domains in the cookie jar. (CVE-2016-8615)

It was discovered that curl incorrect handled case when comparing user names and passwords. A remote attacker with knowledge of a case-insensitive version of the correct password could possibly use this issue to cause a connection to be reused. (CVE-2016-8616)

It was discovered that curl incorrect handled memory when encoding to base64. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-8617)

It was discovered that curl incorrect handled memory when preparing formatted output. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-8618)

It was discovered that curl incorrect handled memory when performing Kerberos authentication. A remote attacker could pos…
