Wenchao Li discovered that curl incorrectly handled memory in the curl_url_set() function. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 19.04.
(CVE-2019-5435)

It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled memory when receiving data from a TFTP server. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-5436).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
