Descriptions
curl before version 7.52.0 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when doing a large floating point output in libcurl's implementation of the printf() functions. If there are any application that accepts a format string from the outside without necessary input filtering, it could allow remote attacks.
curl, en versiones anteriores a la 7.52.0, es vulnerable a un desbordamiento de búfer cuando se realiza un envío de un gran puntero flotante en la implementación de libcurl de la función printf(). Si hay aplicaciones que acepten una cadena de formato externa sin necesitar un filtrado de entrada, podría permitir ataques remotos.
