CVE-2016-7167 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple integer overflows in the (1) curl_escape, (2) curl_easy_escape, (3) curl_unescape, and (4) curl_easy_unescape functions in libcurl before 7.50.3 allow attackers to have unspecified impact via a string of length 0xffffffff, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 11.74% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
