Summary
CVE-2023-38039 is a vulnerability affecting the curl library. The issue arises from the library's lack of limitation on the number and size of headers it can accept in an HTTP response. Malicious servers can exploit this weakness by streaming an endless series of headers, causing curl to exhaust its heap memory. This can lead to a denial-of-service condition or potentially allow unauthorized access.
