CVE-2026-107929: local interface connection reuse mixup

Severity: high (CVSS 8.1 v3.1)
Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
EPSS: 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
Public exploit or detection template: none known
Published: 2026-10-20 · updated 2026-10-30
Weakness: CWE-488

Description

When `CURLOPT_INTERFACE` (or the command line tool's `--interface` option) is set with one of the documented prefixes (`if!`, `host!`, `ifhost!`), that binding is not part of the connection reuse key, so a later transfer asking for a different source can silently reuse an existing connection and go out from the earlier transfer's source address
