Last modified

CVE-2025-14017 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.3/10 on the CVSS scale. When doing multi-threaded LDAPS transfers (LDAP over TLS) with libcurl, changing TLS options in one thread would inadvertently change them globally and therefore possibly also affect other concurrently setup transfers. Disabling certificate verification for a specific transfer could unintentionally disable the feature for other threads as well.. EPSS estimates a 0.11% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
