Descriptions

libcurl versions from 7.34.0 to before 7.64.0 are vulnerable to a heap out-of-bounds read in the code handling the end-of-response for SMTP. If the buffer passed to `smtp_endofresp()` isn't NUL terminated and contains no character ending the parsed number, and `len` is set to 5, then the `strtol()` call reads beyond the allocated buffer. The read contents will not be returned to the caller.

libcurl, desde la versión 7.34.0 hasta antes de la 7.64.0, es vulnerable a una lectura de memoria dinámica (heap) fuera de límites en el código que maneja el final de la respuesta para SMTP. Si el búfer que se pasa a "smtp_endofresp()" no termina en NUL, no contiene caracteres que terminen el número analizado y "len" se establece como 5, la llamada "strtol()" lee más allá del búfer asignado. Los contenidos de la lectura no se devolverán al llamante.

An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way curl handled certain SMTP responses. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash curl.
