CVE-2024-7264
Last modified
CVE-2024-7264 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. libcurl's ASN1 parser code has the `GTime2str()` function, used for parsing an ASN.1 Generalized Time field. If given an syntactically incorrect field, the parser might end up using -1 for the length of the *time fraction*, leading to a `strlen()` getting performed on a pointer to a heap buffer area that is not (purposely) null terminated. This flaw most likely leads to a crash, but can also lead to heap contents getting returned to the application when [CURLINFO_CERTINFO](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLINFO_CERTINFO.html) is used.. EPSS estimates a 16.21% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
