Found In Version: 10.18.44.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 18

Description

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.
