CVE-2014-8151 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The darwinssl_connect_step1 function in lib/vtls/curl_darwinssl.c in libcurl 7.31.0 through 7.39.0, when using the DarwinSSL (aka SecureTransport) back-end for TLS, does not check if a cached TLS session validated the certificate when reusing the session, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.. EPSS estimates a 1.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
