From 06ae8ca5a6e452e5cb555c1a511a9df8dec6657c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2010 09:35:48 +0000 Subject: - When downloading compressed content over HTTP and the app as asked libcurl to automatically uncompress it with the CURLOPT_ENCODING option, libcurl could wrongly provide the callback with more data than what the maximum documented amount. An application could thus get tricked into badness if the maximum limit was trusted to be enforced by libcurl itself (as it is documented). This is further detailed and explained in the libcurl security advisory 20100209 at http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20100209.html --- CHANGES | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) (limited to 'CHANGES') diff --git a/CHANGES b/CHANGES index 34771d2ae..f78b2029d 100644 --- a/CHANGES +++ b/CHANGES @@ -6,6 +6,19 @@ Changelog +Daniel Stenberg (9 Feb 2010) +- When downloading compressed content over HTTP and the app as asked libcurl + to automatically uncompress it with the CURLOPT_ENCODING option, libcurl + could wrongly provide the callback with more data than what the maximum + documented amount.
