  • CURL-CVE-2019-5481FTP-KRB double free2019-09-11vendor · osvUS

    libcurl can be told to use kerberos over FTP to a server, as set with the `CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL` option. During such kerberos FTP data transfer, the server sends data to curl in blocks with the 32-bit size of each block first and then that amount of data immediately following. A malicious or broken server can claim to send a large block and if by doing that it makes curl's subsequent call to `realloc()` to fail, curl would then misbehave in the exit path and double free the memory. In practical terms, an up to 4 GB memory area may well be fine to allocate on a modern 64-bit system but on 32-bit systems it fails. Kerberos FTP is a rarely used protocol with curl. Also, Kerberos authentication is usually only attempted and used with servers that the client has a previous association with.
