Alpine: libcurl, multiple curl packages: security update to 8.14.1-r2

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435497

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- 1. A cookie is set using the `secure` keyword for `https://target` 2. curl is redirected to or otherwise
made to speak with `http://target` (same hostname, but using clear text HTTP) using the same cookie set 3.
The same cookie name is set - but with just a slash as path (`path=\"/\",`). Since this site is not
secure, the cookie *should* just be ignored. 4. A bug in the path comparison logic makes curl read outside
a heap buffer boundary The bug either causes a crash or it potentially makes the comparison come to the
wrong conclusion and lets the clear-text site override the contents of the secure cookie, contrary to
expectations and depending on the memory contents immediately following the single-byte allocation that
holds the path. The presumed and correct behavior would be to plainly ignore the second set of the cookie
since it was already set as secure on a secure host so overriding it on an insecure host should not be
okay. (CVE-2025-9086)

- curl's websocket code did not update the 32 bit mask pattern for each new outgoing frame as the
specification says. Instead it used a fixed mask that persisted and was used throughout the entire
connection. A predictable mask pattern allows for a malicious server to induce traffic between the two
communicating parties that could be interpreted by an involved proxy (configured or transparent) as
genuine, real, HTTP traffic with content and thereby poison its cache. That cached poisoned content could
then be served to all users of that proxy. (CVE-2025-10148)
