This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

When writing a long cookie name and value to a Netscape cookie jar, a remote

HTTP server can make `curl` write a record that exceeds its line-length

parsing limit. Consequently, any subsequent `curl` invocation reading from

that same cookie jar using `--cookie` silently aborts parsing prematurely upon

encountering the too long line, ignoring all subsequent valid cookies in the

file.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
