CWE-ID:
CWE-440
Exploitation vector: Network
Exploit availability: No
Vulnerable software:
cURL
Client/Desktop applications /
Other client software
Vendor: curl.haxx.se
Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to force unexpected application behavior.
The vulnerability exists due to a logic error for a reused handle when processing subsequent HTTP PUT and POST requests. The libcurl can erroneously use the read callback (CURLOPT_READFUNCTION
) to ask for data to send, even when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
option has been set, if the same handle previously was used to issue a PUT
request, which used that callback. As a result, such behavior can influence application flow and force unpredictable outcome.
Mitigation
Install updates from vendor's website.
