CVE-2017-2629

23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-2629 describes a flaw in curl versions prior to 7.53.0, where an incorrect TLS Certificate Status Request extension implementation always reported valid proof of a server's certificate, even when absent or unsupported. This could mislead users about a server's certificate validity, affecting both the curl library and command-line tool.
