Overview\n\ncurl 7.1.1 to and including 7.75.0 is vulnerable to an \"Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor\" by leaking credentials in the HTTP Referer: header. libcurl does not strip off user credentials from the URL when automatically populating the Referer: HTTP request header field in outgoing HTTP requests, and therefore risks leaking sensitive data to the server that is the target of the second HTTP request.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `libcurl >= 7.1.1, <= 7.75.0`\n- `fedora = 32`\n- `fedora = 33`\n- `fedora = 34`\n- `hci_management_node`\n- `solidfire`\n-
