A flaw in the libcurl SASL negotiation for LDAP authentication allows an
incomplete handshake sequence to be misinterpreted as a successful
cryptographic verification. An attacker executing a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM)
attack can inject a premature or shortcut response that bypasses complete peer
validation.

CVE-2026-80229 [HIGH] curl vulnerabilities
Title: curl vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in curl.
Eunsoo Kim discovered that curl incorrectly handled SASL negotiation for
LDAP authentication in certain circumstances. A machine-in-the-middle
attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass peer validation. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.
(CVE-2026-13608)
Stephan Zeisberg discovered that curl incorrectly handled HTTP/2 Server
Push streams when sharing connections between handles. A remote attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial
of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-18924)
Stanislav Fort discovered that curl incorrectly managed the lifetime of
pooled TLS connections when using the multi interface. An attacker could

curl: curl: Authentication bypass in OpenLDAP SASL negotiation via Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack
A flaw in the libcurl SASL negotiation for LDAP authentication allows an
incomplete handshake sequence to be misinterpreted as a successful
cryptographic verification. An attacker executing a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM)
attack can inject a premature or shortcut response that bypasses complete peer
validation.
A flaw was found in libcurl's SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) negotiation for LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication when using the OpenLDAP backend. An incomplete handshake sequence can be misinterpreted as a successful cryptographic verification. A remote attacker, by performing a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack, could inject a premature response to

CVE-2026-85880 [HIGH] Patch Tuesday - September 2026
Microsoft is publishing 974 own-product vulnerabilities on September 2026 Patch Tuesday , including 723 vulnerabilities in Windows. Along with Microsoft fixes for 25 non-Microsoft CVEs, that brings the total number of vulnerabilities on the table today to 999. Whether this is the biggest Patch Tuesday ever depends on how we count, but this is by far the most CVEs that Microsoft has ever published in a single day. As Rapid7 noted last month, there is no reason to suppose that Patch Tuesday will ever return to the lower volumes we saw prior to 2026. Microsoft is aware of exploitation in the wild for two of the vulnerabilities published today.
