      <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<p>An allocation of resources without limits or throttling vulnerability
	exists in curl <v7.88.0 based on the "chained" HTTP compression
	algorithms, meaning that a server response can be compressed multiple
	times and potentially with differentalgorithms. The number of
	acceptable "links" in this "decompression chain" wascapped, but the
	cap was implemented on a per-header basis allowing a maliciousserver
	to insert a virtually unlimited number of compression steps simply
	byusing many headers. The use of such a decompression chain could
	result in a "malloc bomb", making curl end up spending enormous
	amounts of allocated heap memory, or trying to and returning out of
	memory errors.</p>
