CURL-CVE-2018-1000121
No affected components available
curl might dereference a near-NULL address when getting an LDAP URL.
The function ldap_get_attribute_ber() is called to get attributes, but it
turns out that it can return LDAP_SUCCESS and still return a NULL pointer
in the result pointer when getting a particularly crafted response. This was a
surprise to us and to the code.
libcurl-using applications that allow LDAP URLs, or that allow redirects to LDAP URLs could be made to crash by a malicious server.
