A flaw was found in the curl package. This race condition modifies the behavior of symbolic link files in affected components which might be followed instead of overwritten when the condition is met, leading to undesired and potentially destructive behavior.

When curl retrieves an HTTP response, it stores the incoming headers so that they can be accessed later via the libcurl headers API. However, curl did not have a limit in how many or how large headers it would accept in a response, allowing a malicious server to stream an endless series of headers and eventually cause curl to run out of heap memory.
