A remote attacker could use this issue to cause curl to\ncrash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary\ncode. (CVE-2021-22945)\n\nPatrick Monnerat discovered that curl incorrectly handled upgrades to TLS.\nWhen receiving certain responses from servers, curl would continue without\nTLS even when the option to require a successful upgrade to TLS was\nspecified. (CVE-2021-22946)\n\nPatrick Monnerat discovered that curl incorrectly handled responses\nreceived before STARTTLS. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue\nto inject responses and intercept communications. (CVE-2021-22947)\n",
