Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability in libcurl's schannel TLS Backend

CVE-2016-9953 · HIGH Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

The verify_certificate function in lib/vtls/schannel.c in libcurl 7.30.0 through 7.51.0, when built for Windows CE using the schannel TLS backend, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service (crash), or possibly have unspecified other impact via a wildcard certificate name, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
