Description
When libpsl support is enabled, libcurl fails to enforce the Public Suffix
List boundary check when processing a `Set-Cookie` header where the `Domain`
attribute explicitly matches an origin host that is itself a public suffix
(e.g., `Domain=co.uk` set by `co.uk`).
Instead of coercing it into a strict host-only cookie, libcurl saves the
cookie with wildcard domain scope (`.co.uk`). Consequently, the cookie is
inappropriately included in subsequent outbound requests or HTTP redirects to
arbitrary sibling subdomains under the same public suffix (e.g.,
`attacker.co.uk`).
