NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
curl can be told to parse a .netrc file for credentials. If that file endsin a line with 4095 consecutive non-white space letters and no newline, curlwould first read past the end of the stack-based buffer, and if the readworks, write a zero byte beyond its boundary.This will in most cases cause a segfault or similar, but circumstances might also cause different outcomes.If a malicious user can provide a custom netrc file to an application or otherwise affect its contents, this flaw could be used as denial-of-service.
