We are cutting the release cycle short and will release curl 8.4.0 on October 11, including a fix for a severity HIGH CVE. Buckle up.

... But this time actually the worst security problem found in curl in a long time

Why don't they just rewrite it in rust? It would be much safer right?

I think that's been asked before. That'd be a massive undertaking, and they also support architectures that I don't think Rust does (yet).
