"curl can be told to parse a `.netrc` file for credentials. If that
file endsin a line with 4095 consecutive non-white space letters and
no newline, curlwould first read past the end of the stack-based
buffer, and if the readworks, write a zero byte beyond its
boundary.This will in most cases cause a segfault or similar, but
circumstances might also cause different outcomes.If a malicious user
can provide a custom netrc file to an application or otherwise affect
its contents, this flaw could be used as denial-of-service.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
