UBUNTU-CVE-2026-87863 (CVE-2026-87863)
Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2026-10-14 06:00 – Updated: 2026-10-14 06:00 – Source websiteAn authenticated HTTPS origin can supply an HSTS max-age value that the parser accepts, but time serialization later fails to process. On 64-bit systems, extreme max-age values compute an absolute expiry within standard time integer limits that exceeds calendar time structure bounds. During cache saves, the original HSTS file is truncated before writing a temporary replacement; when serialization fails, the temporary file is deleted, leaving an empty or partial cache. Because the save error is silently ignored during cleanup, curl exits successfully despite the data loss.
