CVE-2006-1061

Open Source Vulnerabilities CURL-CVE-2006-1061

libcurl uses the given file part of a TFTP URL in a manner that allows a malicious user to overflow a heap-based memory buffer due to the lack of boundary check. This overflow happens if you pass in a URL with a TFTP protocol prefix ("tftp://"), using a valid host and a path part that is longer than 512 bytes. The affected flaw can be triggered by a redirect, if curl/libcurl is told to follow redirects and an HTTP server points the client to a tftp URL with the characteristics described above.

Open Source Vulnerabilities CVE-2006-1061

Heap-based buffer overflow in cURL and libcURL 7.15.0 through 7.15.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a TFTP URL (tftp://) with a valid hostname and a long path.
