Description
A flaw was found in curl. A remote malicious server can trigger a denial of service (DoS) in cookie handling by providing an overly long cookie name and value that exceeds curl's line-length limit when saved to a cookie file. Subsequent curl operations reading from this cookie file silently abort parsing upon encountering the oversized entry, causing all remaining valid cookies in the file to be ignored.
Analysis and contextual insights are available on OpenCVE Cloud.
