This advisory currently lacks precise upstream version boundaries and may overgeneralize affected versions across ecosystems.
According to the official curl security advisory:
https://curl.se/docs/CVE-2024-2004.html
CVE-2024-2004 affects both curl and libcurl due to a logic flaw in protocol selection handling. When a protocol selection string disables all protocols without enabling any, the default protocol set is incorrectly retained, allowing unintended protocol usage (e.g., plaintext HTTP).
Correct upstream version information:
The vulnerability was:
This issue impacts:
It should not be represented as affecting all historical versions or unrelated packages.
Severity remains LOW as assessed by the curl security team.
The current advisory lacks precise upstream version boundaries and may incorrectly imply broader impact.
Upstream curl explicitly defines:
Some data sources incorrectly mark the vulnerability as affecting all historical versions (introduced=0), which is inaccurate.
This change aligns the advisory with the official curl security advisory and ensures correct affected version range and component scope (curl/libcurl only).
