Description
A flaw was found in curl. When curl is built with the GnuTLS library, a blocked transmission during communication with a malicious WebSocket server can trigger an out-of-bounds memory read. A malicious server can exploit this flaw to expose sensitive data from neighboring memory buffers or crash the client, leading to information disclosure or a Denial of Service (DoS).
