siglongjmp race condition

view advisory published 2023-05-17Licence: per source

libcurl provides several different backends for resolving hostnames, 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.
