Updated the curl packages to fix two security vulnerabilities

curl/libcurl is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow in its SOCKS5 support that could be exploited by a remote web server when curl is configured to use a SOCKS5 proxy with remote hostname resolution. libcurl is vulnerable to a cookie injection attack where a local attacker can inject cookies int...

Two High-Risk Security Flaws Discovered in Curl Library - New Patches Released

--- Image Source: JFrog Security Research Patches have been released for two security flaws impacting the Curl data transfer library, the most severe of which could potentially result in code execution. The list of vulnerabilities is as follows - CVE-2023-38545 CVSS score: 7.5 - SOCKS5 heap-based...

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...

USN-6429-1 curl vulnerabilities

Jay Satiro discovered that curl incorrectly handled hostnames when using a SOCKS5 proxy. In environments where curl is configured to use a SOCKS5 proxy, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 23.04...

USN-6429-1: curl vulnerabilities

CURL-CVE-2023-38545 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 ...

CVE-2023-38545

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the SOCKS5 proxy handshake in the Curl package. If Curl is unable to resolve the address itself, it passes the hostname to the SOCKS5 proxy. However, the maximum length of the hostname that can be passed is 255 bytes. If the hostname is longer, then...

CVE-2023-38545

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

Important: curl

Issue Overview: An issue was found in curl that can cause a buffer overflow in its SOCKS5 proxy communications code. When curl is using a SOCKS5 proxy and it needs to resolve a hostname to an IP address, its default behavior is to pass the hostname to the proxy and allow it to perform the...

Vulnerability fixed in libcurl

There is a vulnerability in the SOCKS5 proxy handshake of libcurl. A malicious party could potentially exploit the vulnerability to cause a crash in the application using libcurl. To perform this attack successfully, several conditions must be met such as using a SOCKS5 proxy, the use of a long...

The vulnerability of the implementation of the SOCKS5 protocol in the command-line utility cURL allows a hacker to trigger a service failure or execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability of the SOCKS5 protocol implementation in the CURL command-line utility is related to the issue of the operation going beyond the buffer boundaries when processing the hostname length. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause service failures or execute...
