Description Jon Moroney 2026-07-06 22:04:02 UTC 
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

By default, curl automatically responds to WebSocket PING frames. Because curl
lacks an upper bound on memory allocation for unacknowledged frames, a
malicious server can exhaust all available memory by flooding curl with rapid,
sequential PING messages.
