CVE-2025-9086 — Out of bounds read for cookie path

Affected: curl, Siemens RUGGEDCOM RST2428P, Siemens SCALANCE XC-300/XR-300/XC-400/XR-500WG/XR-500 family, Siemens SCALANCE XCH328, Siemens SCALANCE XCM324, Siemens SCALANCE XCM328, Siemens SCALANCE XCM332, Siemens SCALANCE XRH334 (24 V DC, 8xFO, CC), Siemens SCALANCE XRM334 (230 V AC, 12xFO), Siemens SCALANCE XRM334 (230 V AC, 8xFO) and 7 more

1. A cookie is set using the `secure` keyword for `https://target` 2. curl is redirected to or otherwise made to speak with `http://target` (same hostname, but using clear text HTTP) using the same cookie set 3. The same cookie name is set - but with only a slash as path (`path="/"`). Since this site is not secure, the cookie *should* be ignored. 4. A bug in the path comparison logic makes curl read outside a heap buffer boundary

The bug either causes a crash or it potentially makes the comparison come to the wrong conclusion and lets the clear-text site override the contents of the secure cookie, contrary to expectations and depending on the memory contents immediately following the single-byte allocation that holds the path.

The presumed and correct behavior would be to plainly ignore the second set of the cookie since it was already set as secure on a secure host so overriding it on an insecure host should not be okay.
