CURL-CVE-2016-8624

invalid URL parsing with '#'

curl does not parse the authority component of the URL correctly when the host name part ends with a hash (`#`) character, and could instead be tricked into connecting to a different host. This may have security implications if you for example use a URL parser that follows the RFC to check for allowed domains before using curl to request them. Passing in `http://example.com#@evil.com/x.txt` would wrongly make curl send a request to evil.com while your browser would connect to example.com given the same URL. The problem exists for most protocol schemes.
