A malicious server can serve excessive amounts of Set-Cookie:
headers in a HTTP response to curl and curl < 7.84.0 stores all of them. A sufficiently large amount of (big) cookies make subsequent HTTP requests to this, or other servers to which the cookies match, create requests that become larger than the threshold that curl uses internally to avoid sending crazy large requests (1048576 bytes) and instead returns an error.This denial state might remain for as long as the same cookies are kept, match and havenโt expired. Due to cookie matching rules, a server on foo.example.com
can set cookies that also would match for bar.example.com
, making it it possible for a โsister serverโ to effectively cause a denial of service for a sibling site on the same second level domain using this method.
