Description Adam Mariš 2017-08-04 09:27:54 UTC 
When doing an TFTP upload and curl/libcurl is given a URL that contains a very
long file name (longer than about 515 bytes), the file name is truncated to
fit within the buffer boundaries, but the buffer size is still wrongly updated
to use the untruncated length. This too large value is then used in the
`send()` call, making curl attempt to send more data than what is actually put
into the buffer. The `send()` function will then read beyond the end of the
heap based buffer.

Affected versions: libcurl 7.15.0 to and including 7.54.1
