CVE-2025-0725: Heap overflow in curl with Content-Encoding gzip and old libz versions
Low
Vulnerability Details
Hello,
I would like to report a vulnerability here that I previously reported to the curl project.
In curl's support for old libz version lies an integer overflow that can be triggered by a malicious http server by serving
abnormally large gzip headers that then leads to a heap overflow with attacker-controlled data when `Content-Encoding: gzip`
is used.
