Package        : curl
Version        : 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u14
CVE ID         : CVE-2024-8096


curl a command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax was
affected by CVE-2024-8096. When the TLS backend is GnuTLS, curl may
incorrectly handle OCSP stapling. If the OCSP status reports an error
other than "revoked" (e.g., "unauthorized"), it is not treated as a
bad certificate, potentially allowing invalid certificates to be
considered valid.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
7.74.0-1.3+deb11u14.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
