NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl
package and not the curl
package as distributed by Alpine
.
See How to fix?
for Alpine:3.16
relevant fixed versions and status.
The libcurl API function called curl_maprintf()
before version 7.51.0 can be tricked into doing a double-free due to an unsafe size_t
multiplication, on systems using 32 bit size_t
variables.
