Message   LWN.net    All   Stenberg: The pressure   May 28, 2026
 6:40 AM *  

Curl maintainer Daniel Stenberg writes about
the stress of keeping up with the current flood of security reports.

This is a never-before seen or experienced pressure on the curl
	project and its security team members. An avalanche of high
	priority work that trumps all other things in the project that is
	primarily mental because we certainly could ignore them all if we
	wanted, but we feel a responsibility, we have a conscience and we
	are proud about our work. We feel obliged to fix security problems
	in the software we have helped shipped to every device on the
	globe. This is personal to us.

With about half the release cycle left until the pending release
	ships, we already have twelve confirmed vulnerabilities
	meaning twelve pending CVE announcements. That's a new project
	record and it also means we will reach thirty published CVEs
	in 2026 even before half the calendar year has passed. The
	projected total amount of curl CVEs published through the whole
	year is therefore at least double this number!
