Vulnerability CVE-2023-46218


Published: 2023-12-07   Modified: 2023-12-14

Description:
This flaw allows a malicious HTTP server to set "super cookies" in curl that
are then passed back to more origins than what is otherwise allowed or
possible. This allows a site to set cookies that then would get sent to
different and unrelated sites and domains.

It could do this by exploiting a mixed case flaw in curl's function that
verifies a given cookie domain against the Public Suffix List (PSL). For
example a cookie could be set with `domain=co.UK` when the URL used a lower
case hostname `curl.co.uk`, even though `co.uk` is listed as a PSL domain.

Type:

CWE-noinfo

Affected software
HAXX -> CURL 
Fedoraproject -> Fedora
