CVE-2018-0500 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:9.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Debian.
Curl_smtp_escape_eob in lib/smtp.c in curl 7.54.1 to and including curl 7.60.0 has a heap-based buffer overflow that might be exploitable by an attacker who can control the data that curl transmits over SMTP with certain settings (i.e., use of a nonstandard --limit-rate argument or CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE value).
