Description

CVE-2023-38546 affecting package cmake for versions less than 3.21.4-10

This flaw allows an attacker to insert cookies at will into a running program

using libcurl, if the specific series of conditions are met.

libcurl performs transfers. In its API, an application creates "easy handles"

that are the individual handles for single transfers.

libcurl provides a function call that duplicates en easy handle called

[curl_easy_duphandle](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_duphandle.html).

If a transfer has cookies enabled when the handle is duplicated, the

cookie-enable state is also cloned - but without cloning the actual

cookies. If the source handle did not read any cookies from a specific file on

disk, the cloned version of the handle would instead store the file name as

none (using the four ASCII letters, no quotes).

Subsequent use of the cloned handle that does not explicitly set a source to

load cookies from would then inadvertently load cookies from a file named

none - if such a file exists and is readable in the current directory of the

program using libcurl. And if using the correct file format of course.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity low, availability none.
