Curl Security Vulnerabilities

CVE-2005-3185

Stack-based buffer overflow in the ntlm_output function in http-ntlm.c for (1) wget 1.10, (2) curl 7.13.2, and (3) libcurl 7.13.2, and other products that use libcurl, when NTLM authentication is enabled, allows remote servers to execute arbitrary code via a long NTLM username.

CVE-2009-0037

The redirect implementation in curl and libcurl 5.11 through 7.19.3, when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled, accepts arbitrary Location values, which might allow remote HTTP servers to (1) trigger arbitrary requests to intranet servers, (2) read or overwrite arbitrary files via a redirect to a file...

CVE-2009-2417

lib/ssluse.c in cURL and libcurl 7.4 through 7.19.5, when OpenSSL is used, does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate is...

CVE-2010-0734

content_encoding.c in libcurl 7.10.5 through 7.19.7, when zlib is enabled, does not properly restrict the amount of callback data sent to an application that requests automatic decompression, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or have unspecified oth...

CVE-2010-3842

Absolute path traversal vulnerability in curl 7.20.0 through 7.21.1, when the --remote-header-name or -J option is used, allows remote servers to create or overwrite arbitrary files by using \ (backslash) as a separator of path components within the Content-disposition HTTP header.

CVE-2012-0036

curl and libcurl 7.2x before 7.24.0 do not properly consider special characters during extraction of a pathname from a URL, which allows remote attackers to conduct data-injection attacks via a crafted URL, as demonstrated by a CRLF injection attack on the (1) IMAP, (2) POP3, or (3) SMTP protocol.

CVE-2016-9594

curl before version 7.52.1 is vulnerable to an uninitialized random in libcurl's internal function that returns a good 32bit random value. Having a weak or virtually non-existent random value makes the operations that use it vulnerable.

CVE-2017-2629

curl before 7.53.0 has an incorrect TLS Certificate Status Request extension feature that asks for a fresh proof of the server's certificate's validity in the code that checks for a test success or failure. It ends up always thinking there's valid proof, even when there is none or if the server doe...

CVE-2019-5435

An integer overflow in curl's URL API results in a buffer overflow in libcurl 7.62.0 to and including 7.64.1.

CVE-2019-5436

A heap buffer overflow in the TFTP receiving code allows for DoS or arbitrary code execution in libcurl versions 7.19.4 through 7.64.1.

CVE-2019-5443

A non-privileged user or program can put code and a config file in a known non-privileged path (under C:/usr/local/) that will make curl <= 7.65.1 automatically run the code (as an openssl "engine") on invocation. If that curl is invoked by a privileged user it can do anything it wants.

CVE-2019-5481

Double-free vulnerability in the FTP-kerberos code in cURL 7.52.0 to 7.65.3.

CVE-2019-5482

Heap buffer overflow in the TFTP protocol handler in cURL 7.19.4 to 7.65.3.

CVE-2023-38039

When curl retrieves an HTTP response, it stores the incoming headers so thatthey can be accessed later via the libcurl headers API. However, curl did not have a limit in how many or how large headers it wouldaccept in a response, allowing a malicious server to stream an endless seriesof headers and...

CVE-2023-38545

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

CVE-2023-38546

This flaw allows an attacker to insert cookies at will into a running programusing libcurl, if the specific series of conditions are met. libcurl performs transfers. In its API, an application creates "easy handles"that are the individual handles for single transfers. libcurl provides a function ca...

CVE-2023-46218

This flaw allows a malicious HTTP server to set "super cookies" in curl thatare then passed back to more origins than what is otherwise allowed orpossible. This allows a site to set cookies that then would get sent todifferent and unrelated sites and domains. It could do this by exploiting a mixed ...

CVE-2023-46219

When saving HSTS data to an excessively long file name, curl could end upremoving all contents, making subsequent requests using that file unaware ofthe HSTS status they should otherwise use.
