CVE-2016-8622

Description

The URL percent-encoding decode function in libcurl before 7.51.0 is called `curl_easy_unescape`. Internally, even if this function would be made to allocate a unscape destination buffer larger than 2GB, it would return that new length in a signed 32 bit integer variable, thus the length would get either just truncated or both truncated and turned negative. That could then lead to libcurl writing outside of its heap based buffer.

Priority: HIGH
CVSS v3: 9.8
Component: libcurl
Publish Date: Nov 11, 2016
Related ID: --
CVSS v2: CRITICAL
Modified Date: Nov 11, 2016
