The ourWriteOut function in tool_writeout.c in curl 7.53.1 might allow physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory in opportunistic circumstances by reading a workstation screen during use of a --write-out argument ending in a '%' character, which leads to a heap-based buffer over-read.
La función ourWriteOut en tool_writeout.c en curl 7.53.1 podría permitir que los atacantes físicamente próximos obtengan información sensible de la memoria del proceso en circunstancias oportunistas leyendo una pantalla de la estación de trabajo durante el uso de un argumento --write-out que termina en un carácter '%', lo que conduce a desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica.
Daniel Stenberg discovered that curl incorrectly handled large floating point output. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Even Rouault discovered that curl incorrectly handled large file names when doing TFTP transfers. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive memory contents. Various other issues were also addressed.
