Summary

The vulnerability in curl, included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 versions prior to 7.19.7-53, arises from an improper backport of a security fix. Originally intended to address a previous vulnerability (CVE-2015-3148), the fix failed to consider key changes in the configuration definitions, specifically the transition from HAVE_GSSAPI to USE_HTTP_NEGOTIATE. This flaw was introduced in RHEL 6.7 and compromises the security integrity of curl within the affected operating system.

Affected Version(s)

curl 7.19.7-53
