CURL-CVE-2017-1000101

Description

curl supports "globbing" of URLs, in which a user can pass a numerical range to have the tool iterate over those numbers to do a sequence of transfers.

In the globbing function that parses the numerical range, there was an omission that made curl read a byte beyond the end of the URL if given a carefully crafted, or wrongly written, URL. The URL is stored in a heap based buffer, so it could then be made to wrongly read something else instead of crashing.

An example of a URL that triggers the flaw would be http://ur%20[0-60000000000000000000.
