Heap Buffer Overflow

curl is vulnerable to Heap Buffer Overflow. The vulnerability is due to the SOCKS5 proxy handshake. If the hostname is longer then 255 bytes, curl switches to local name resolution, and passes the resolved address to the proxy. If the SOCKS5 handshake is slow, the long hostname is directly copied...

SOCKS5 heap buffer overflow

This flaw makes curl overflow a heap based buffer in the SOCKS5 proxy handshake. When curl is asked to pass along the hostname to the SOCKS5 proxy to allow that to resolve the address instead of it getting done by curl itself, the maximum length that hostname can be is 255 bytes. If the hostname ...
