What the CVE records say

CVE-2024-0853 — curl inadvertently kept the SSL session ID for connections in its cache even when the verify status (*OCSP stapling*) test failed. A subsequent transfer to the same hostname could then succeed if the session ID cache was still fresh, which then skipped the verify status check.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to addition or modification of data.

Affected products

NetApp HCI Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) - H300S/H500S/H700S/H410S
ONTAP 9
ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere 10

What to do

Check the affected products listed above against the official advisory's affected-versions table — that is where the exact ONTAP 9 release, ONTAP tool, or management product versions are named.
If affected and a fixed release exists, plan the upgrade — see the ONTAP upgrade runbook.
If exploitation is listed as "active", treat remediation as urgent and review exposure (management LIFs, ONTAP S3, SnapMirror endpoints).
