CVE-2024-2398

When an application tells libcurl it wants to allow HTTP/2 server push, and the amount of received headers for the push surpasses the maximum allowed limit (1000), libcurl aborts the server push. When aborting, libcurl inadvertently does not free all the previously allocated headers and instead leaks the memory. Further, this error condition fails silently and is therefore not easily detected by an application.

Cuando una aplicación le dice a libcurl que quiere permitir la inserción del servidor HTTP/2 y la cantidad de encabezados recibidos para la inserción supera el límite máximo permitido (1000), libcurl cancela la inserción del servidor. Al cancelar, libcurl inadvertidamente no libera todos los encabezados previamente asignados y, en cambio, pierde memoria. Además, esta condición de error falla silenciosamente y, por lo tanto, una aplicación no la detecta fácilmente.
