Amazon Linux 2023: CVE-2024-7264: Medium priority package update for ecs-service-connect-agent
Description
libcurl's ASN1 parser code has the `GTime2str()` function, used for parsing an ASN.1 Generalized Time field. If given an syntactically incorrect field, the parser might end up using -1 for the length of the *time fraction*, leading to a `strlen()` getting performed on a pointer to a heap buffer area that is not (purposely) null terminated. This flaw most likely leads to a crash, but can also lead to heap contents getting returned to the application when [CURLINFO_CERTINFO](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLINFO_CERTINFO.html) is used. A flaw was found in libcurl, where libcurl's ASN1 parser code has the `GTime2str()` function, used for parsing an ASN.1 Generalized Time field. If a syntactically incorrect field is given, the parser can use -1 for the length of the *time fraction*, leading to a `strlen()` performed on a pointer to a heap buffer area that is not purposely NULL terminated.
