OCSP verification bypass with TLS session reuse
===============================================
Project curl Security Advisory, January 31 2024 -
[Permalink](https://curl.se/docs/CVE-2024-0853.html)
VULNERABILITY
-------------
curl inadvertently kept the SSL session ID for connections in its cache even
when the verify status (*OCSP stapling*) test failed. A subsequent transfer to
the same hostname could then succeed if the session ID cache was still fresh,
which then skipped the verify status check.
