CVE-2015-3144 Information
Description
The fix_hostname function in cURL and libcurl 7.37.0 through 7.41.0 does not properly calculate an index which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact via a zero-length host name as demonstrated by \http://:80\ and :80.\
