CVE-2024-6874

libcurl's URL API function [curl_url_get()](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/curl_url_get.html) offers punycode conversions, to and from IDN. Asking to convert a name that is exactly 256 bytes, libcurl ends up reading outside of a stack based buffer when built to use the *macidn* IDN backend. The conversion function then fills up the provided buffer exactly - but does not null terminate the string. This flaw can lead to stack contents accidently getting returned as part of the converted string.

Summary
  • (es) La función API de URL de libcurl [curl_url_get()](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/curl_url_get.html) ofrece conversiones punycode, hacia y desde IDN. Al solicitar convertir un nombre que tiene exactamente 256 bytes, libcurl termina leyendo fuera de un búfer en la región stack de la memoria cuando se construye para usar el backend IDN *macidn*. Luego, la función de conversión llena exactamente el búfer proporcionado, pero no termina en nulo la cadena. Esta falla puede provocar que el contenido de la pila se devuelva accidentalmente como parte de la cadena convertida.
