Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU10223
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000005
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted
HTTP/2 trailer to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read error and cause
the application to crash or obtain potentially sensitive information from
services that echo back or otherwise use the trailers.
Update to version 7.58.0.
Vulnerable software versionslibcurl: 7.49.1 - 7.57.0

2) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU10224
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000007
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send custom headers in an HTTP request and an HTTP 30X redirect response
code, cause the application to send the custom headers to the server
specified in the 'Location:' response header and obtain potentially
sensitive authentication information from applications that use custom
'Authorization:' headers.
