NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcurl4-32bit package and not the libcurl4-32bit package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

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).
