Description

With the wolfSSL backend, when CA caching is enabled and an `CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION` callback replaces the trust store, libcurl can silently reinstall the cached store after the callback returns. A certificate trusted by the cached store but rejected by the callback-selected store is then incorrectly accepted.

Notes


charlescochran

As Debian tracker points out, Debian does not ship curl with wolfSSL support. That is also true of Ubuntu, so this issue does not affect any of our releases.
