CVE-2016-7167 CRITICAL

Published: 2016-10-07 | Last Modified: 2026-06-17 | Status: Modified

Description

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) curl_escape, (2) curl_easy_escape, (3) curl_unescape, and (4) curl_easy_unescape functions in libcurl before 7.50.3 allow attackers to have unspecified impact via a string of length 0xffffffff, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Additional Descriptions (1)

Múltiples desbordamientos de entero en las funciones (1) curl_escape, (2) curl_easy_escape, (3) curl_unescape y (4) curl_easy_unescape en libcurl en versiones anteriores a 7.50.3 permiten a atacantes tener impacto no especificado a través de una cadena de longitud 0xffffffff, lo que desencadena un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica.
