A lib32-curl security update has been released for Arch Linux.

ASA-202106-5: lib32-curl: multiple issues

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202106-5
========================================
Severity: High
Date : 2021-06-01
CVE-ID : CVE-2021-22898 CVE-2021-22901
Package : lib32-curl
Type : multiple issues
Remote : Yes
Link :   https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1996

Summary
======
The package lib32-curl before version 7.77.0-1 is vulnerable to
multiple issues including arbitrary code execution and information
disclosure.

Resolution
=========
Upgrade to 7.77.0-1.

# pacman -Syu "lib32-curl>=7.77.0-1"

The problems have been fixed upstream in version 7.77.0.

Workaround
=========
- CVE-2021-22898 can be mitigated by avoiding to use the -t command
line option and CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS.
- No known workaround exists for CVE-2021-22901.

Description
==========
- CVE-2021-22898 (information disclosure)

A security issue has been found in curl before version 7.77.0. curl
supports the -t command line option, known as CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS in
libcurl. This rarely used option is used to send variable=content pairs
to TELNET servers. Due to flaw in the option parser for sending NEW_ENV
variables, libcurl could be made to pass on uninitialized data from a
stack based buffer to the server. Therefore potentially revealing
sensitive internal information to the server using a clear-text network
protocol.

- CVE-2021-22901 (arbitrary code execution)

libcurl before version 7.77.0 can be tricked into using already freed
memory when a new TLS session is negotiated or a client certificate is
requested on an existing connection. For example, this can happen when
a TLS server requests a client certificate on a connection that was
established without one. A malicious server can use this in rare
unfortunate circumstances to potentially reach remote code execution in
the client. The flaw can only happen in libcurl built to use OpenSSL.

Impact
=====
curl could disclose potentially sensitive memory information to a
remote server over Telnet when an uncommon option is used.
Additionally, a remote attacker could cause arbitrary code execution
through a crafted TLS handshake.
