Heap Buffer Over-read in libcurl ASN1 Parser (GTime2str)
CVE-2024-7264 is a vulnerability in libcurl's ASN1 parser, specifically in the GTime2str() function, which parses ASN.1 Generalized Time fields. When presented with a syntactically incorrect field, the function may use -1 as the length for the time fraction, resulting in a call to strlen() on a pointer to a heap buffer that is not null-terminated. This can cause a heap buffer over-read, potentially leading to a crash or unintended exposure of heap memory contents when CURLINFO_CERTINFO is used.
