CVE-2024-7264 Information

Description

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 is used.
