Wesley Miaw discovered that libcurl, a multi-protocol file transfer library, is prone to a buffer overflow via the callback function when an application relies on libcurl to automatically uncompress data.
Note that this only affects applications that trust libcurl’s maximum limit for a fixed buffer size and do not perform any sanity checks themselves.
