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.
