It's not, really. Curl is an extraordinarily high value target that has already been picked over by well funded security researchers and state-sponsored groups using state of the art tooling for decades. That is not the target for which Mythos is a threat.

The threat isn't high value targets, which already had sophisticated folks picking over the code base using state of the art tools and tests, it's medium to low value targets which can now be picked over by random hackers who barely know anything about security themselves at a cost of a few dollars.
