NVD Description

package and not the curl
package as distributed by Centos
.
See How to fix?
for Centos:6
relevant fixed versions and status.
A denial of service vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 in the way libcurl provides several different backends for resolving host names, selected at build time. If it is built to use the synchronous resolver, it allows name resolves to time-out slow operations using alarm()
and siglongjmp()
. When doing this, libcurl used a global buffer that was not mutex protected and a multi-threaded application might therefore crash or otherwise misbehave.
