How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest curl-8.8.0 to version 8.8.0+e1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl-8.8.0 package and not the curl-8.8.0 package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

When libcurl is asked to perform automatic gzip decompression of content-encoded HTTP responses with the CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING option, using zlib 1.2.0.3 or older, an attacker-controlled integer overflow would make libcurl perform a buffer overflow.
