Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for curl, filling as RC so
it appears on list of issues to be fixed before bullseye release.

CVE-2021-22890[0]:
| curl 7.63.0 to and including 7.75.0 includes vulnerability that allows
| a malicious HTTPS proxy to MITM a connection due to bad handling of
| TLS 1.3 session tickets. When using a HTTPS proxy and TLS 1.3, libcurl
| can confuse session tickets arriving from the HTTPS proxy but work as
| if they arrived from the remote server and then wrongly "short-cut"
| the host handshake. When confusing the tickets, a HTTPS proxy can
| trick libcurl to use the wrong session ticket resume for the host and
| thereby circumvent the server TLS certificate check and make a MITM
| attack to be possible to perform unnoticed. Note that such a malicious
| HTTPS proxy needs to provide a certificate that curl will accept for
| the MITMed server for an attack to work - unless curl has been told to
| ignore the server certificate check.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
