HSTS response erases persisted entries
CVE-2026-87863 is fixed in 3 products on 1 platform, first by curl 8.5.0-2ubuntu10.16, released October 21, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
An 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.
