Lifecycle Timeline
5Description PRE-NVD
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free in libcurl's HTTP/2 stream-dependency handling affects a wide range of curl releases (7.88.0 through 8.20.0) when an application sets CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS or CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS_E, then calls curl_easy_reset() before curl_easy_cleanup(); the reset frees an internal priority structure that cleanup later re-accesses. Despite the NVD 9.8 CVSS rating, the flaw is only reachable through a specific application-controlled API call sequence rather than remote attacker input, and is tagged Information Disclosure. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low (0.21%, 11th percentile), and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The bug lives in libcurl, the transfer library underlying the curl tool and thousands of embedded HTTP clients. It concerns HTTP/2 stream prioritization: RFC 7540 lets a client express a dependency tree among concurrent streams, which libcurl exposes through CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS (dependency) and CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS_E (exclusive dependency). Internally libcurl tracks these relationships in a per-handle structure. The root cause is a classic CWE-416 Use-After-Free (the NVD CWE field is N/A, but the description explicitly states an already-freed internal structure is accessed): curl_easy_reset() releases the stream-dependency state, yet the subsequent curl_easy_cleanup() still attempts to dereference and modify it, operating on dangling memory. The EUVD data (EUVD-2026-41497) enumerates affected releases spanning 7.88.0 up to 8.20.0.
RemediationAI
Upgrade libcurl to the fixed release identified in the vendor advisory at https://curl.se/docs/CVE-2026-10536.html; the input data does not include an exact fixed version, so treat the specific patched build as not independently confirmed and verify it against the advisory and your distribution's security tracker before deploying. As a code-level workaround where you control the application, avoid the vulnerable call ordering: do not call curl_easy_reset() on a handle that has CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS/CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS_E set and then reuse it through cleanup - instead destroy the handle with curl_easy_cleanup() and create a fresh one, or refrain from setting the stream-dependency options at all if your workload does not require HTTP/2 stream prioritization (trade-off: loss of prioritization tuning, negligible for most clients). For deployments that embed libcurl indirectly (language bindings, packaged tools), rebuild or update against the patched shared library. Cross-reference the oss-security disclosure (https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q2/1012) and vendor JSON (https://curl.se/docs/CVE-2026-10536.json) for the exact fixed version.
