Took just 100 minutes from my PR until they instead merged their version of an update.

@bagder Now lets see if the media outlets who reported about the critical curl vulnerability will make a correction. I'm not holding my breath.

@bagder good on them for owning and promptly fixing their error 👍

@darakian I don't think it was good to do that thing in the first place. I think the ripple effects of that damage is still to come as news sites and databases will be slow to update.

Also, it was not a "mistake" they "discovered". It was done on purpose and we/I had to waste time and energy correcting it, for the sanity and safety of millions of curl users.

Rude and stupid it was.

@bagder Agreed. They should have done better on their initial pass, but it is worth praising their prompt response given where the whole CVE space has been.
