curl: a CVE dispute

The curl project, after becoming a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA), has published 57 CVEs and explains its streamlined internal vulnerability assessment process, noting that some extremely low-risk issues may be deliberately left unassigned a CVE.

Background

curl is a widely adopted command-line tool and library for URL-based data transfer; it recently obtained CNA status to independently manage its security vulnerability tracking.
