Problem

CVE	CVSS	Summary
CVE-2020-8284	3.7 ( CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N )	A malicious server can use the FTP PASV response to trick curl 7.73.0 and earlier into connecting back to a given IP address and port, and this way potentially make curl extract information about services that are otherwise private and not disclosed, for example doing port scanning and service banner extractions.
CVE-2020-8286	7.5 ( CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N )	curl 7.41.0 through 7.73.0 is vulnerable to an improper check for certificate revocation due to insufficient verification of the OCSP response.
CVE-2020-8285	7.5 ( CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H )	curl 7.21.0 to and including 7.73.0 is vulnerable to uncontrolled recursion due to a stack overflow issue in FTP wildcard match parsing.
