CVE-2023-38039

  1. OpenCVE
  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2023-38039
When curl retrieves an HTTP response, it stores the incoming headers so that they can be accessed later via the libcurl headers API. However, curl did not have a limit in how many or how large headers it would accept in a response, allowing a malicious server to stream an endless series of headers and eventually cause curl to run out of heap memory.
