In this scenario, libcurl first uses a proper HTTP/3 server for the initial transfers, and when it makes a second transfer to the same site it has been replaced by the attacker's impostor machine - without a valid certificate.
When libcurl returns to the hostname the second time with a cached SSL session
(CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE is not disabled) and early data enabled (the
CURLSSLOPT_EARLYDATA bit is set in CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS), libcurl might
send off the second request's bytes on that new connection before enforcing
the certificate verification failure. Potentially leaking sensitive
information.
