NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The base64 encode function in curl before version 7.51.0 is prone to a buffer being under allocated in 32bit systems if it receives at least 1Gb as input via CURLOPT_USERNAME.
