curl before 7.86.0 has a double free. If curl is told to use an HTTP proxy for a transfer with a non-HTTP(S) URL, it sets up the connection to the remote server by issuing a CONNECT request to the proxy, and then tunnels the rest of the protocol through. An HTTP proxy might refuse this request (HTTP proxies often only allow outgoing connections to specific port numbers, like 443 for HTTPS) and instead return a non-200 status code to the client. Due to flaws in the error/cleanup handling, this could trigger a double free in curl if one of the following schemes were used in the URL for the transfer: dict, gopher, gophers, ldap, ldaps, rtmp, rtmps, or telnet. The earliest affected version is 7.77.0.

    A new LTS Firmware release fixes known vulnerabilities in used open-source libraries. In addition, the following improvements have been implemented: HMI - Hardening against DoS attacks. - Hardening against memory leak problems in case of network attacks. WBM - Umlauts in the password of the 'User Manager' were not handled correctly. The password rule for upper and lower case was not followed. This could lead to unintentionally weaker passwords.- Hardening of WBM against Cross-Site-Scripting. User Manager - In security notifications 'SecurityToken' was always displayed as '0000000' when creating or modifying users.- Hardening of Trust and Identity Stores.

An HTTP proxy might refuse this request (HTTP proxies often only allow outgoing connections to specific port numbers, like 443 for HTTPS) and instead return a non-200 response code to the client. Due to flaws in the error/cleanup handling, this could trigger a double free in curl if one of the following schemes were used in the URL for the transfer: `dict`, `gopher`, `gophers`, `ldap`, `ldaps`, `rtmp`, `rtmps`, `telnet`
