Summary

Incorrect reuse of client certificates

Details

libcurl built on top of NSS (Network Security Services) incorrectly reused client certificates if a certificate from file was used for one TLS connection but no certificate set for a subsequent TLS connection.

While the symptoms are similar to CVE-2016-5420 (Reusing connection with wrong client cert), this vulnerability was caused by an implementation detail of the NSS backend in libcurl, which is orthogonal to the cause of CVE-2016-5420.
