MSRC_CVE-2021-22901

Vulnerability from csaf_microsoft - Published: 2021-06-02 00:00 - Updated: 2021-12-16 00:00
Summary
curl 7.75.0 through 7.76.1 suffers from a use-after-free vulnerability resulting in already freed memory being used when a TLS 1.3 session ticket arrives over a connection. A malicious server can use this in rare unfortunate circumstances to potentially reach remote code execution in the client. When libcurl at run-time sets up support for TLS 1.3 session tickets on a connection using OpenSSL it stores pointers to the transfer in-memory object for later retrieval when a session ticket arrives. If the connection is used by multiple transfers (like with a reused HTTP/1.1 connection or multiplexed HTTP/2 connection) that first transfer object might be freed before the new session is established on that connection and then the function will access a memory buffer that might be freed. When using that memory libcurl might even call a function pointer in the object making it possible for a remote code execution if the server could somehow manage to get crafted memory content into the correct
