CVE-2023-28320

A denial of service vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 in the way libcurl provides several different backends for resolving host names, selected at build time. If it is built to use the synchronous resolver, it allows name resolves to time-out slow operations using `alarm()` and `siglongjmp()`. When doing this, libcurl used a global buffer that was not mutex protected and a multi-threaded application might therefore crash or otherwise misbehave.

Summary
  • (es) Existe una vulnerabilidad de denegación de servicio en curl anterior a v8.1.0 en la forma en que libcurl proporciona varios backends diferentes para resolver nombres de host, seleccionados en tiempo de compilación. Si se compila para usar el resolvedor síncrono, permite que las resoluciones de nombres agoten el tiempo de espera de operaciones lentas usando 'alarm()' y 'siglongjmp()'. Al hacer esto, libcurl usaba un búfer global que no estaba protegido por mutex y una aplicación multihilo podría, por lo tanto, fallar o comportarse de manera incorrecta.
