The ConnectionExists function in lib/url.c in libcurl before 7.47.0 does not properly re-use NTLM-authenticated proxy connections, which might allow remote attackers to authenticate as other users via a request, a similar issue to CVE-2014-0015.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
