Description
libcurl might in some circumstances reuse the wrong connection when asked to<br />
do Negotiate-authenticated ones, even when they are set to use different<br />
&#39;services&#39;.<br />
<br />
libcurl features a pool of recent connections so that subsequent requests can<br />
reuse an existing connection to avoid overhead.<br />
<br />
When reusing a connection a range of criteria must be met. Due to a logical<br />
error in the code, a request that was issued by an application could<br />
wrongfully reuse an existing connection to the same server that was<br />
authenticated using different services.
