CVE has been marked "REJECT" in the CVE List. These CVEs are stored in the NVD, but do not show up in search results.
Current Description
Rejected reason: We issued this CVE pre-maturely, as we have subsequently realized that this issue points out a problem that there really is no safe measures around or protections for.
libcurl can be told to save cookie, HSTS and/or alt-svc data to files. When
doing this, it called `stat()` followed by `fopen()` in a way that made it
vulnerable to a TOCTOU race condition problem.
By exploiting this flaw, an attacker could trick the victim to create or
overwrite protected files holding this data in ways it was not intended to.
