curl is vulnerable to buffer overflow vulnerability. The vulnerability occurs when doing a large floating point output in libcurl’s implementation of the printf() functions. The application accepts input format strings without doing a necessary input filtering. A remote attacker could send a format string from the outside causing a memory corruption.
