## Description

content\_encoding.c in libcurl 7.10.5 through 7.19.7, when zlib is enabled,
does not properly restrict the amount of callback data sent to an
application that requests automatic decompression, which might allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or have
unspecified other impact by sending crafted compressed data to an
application that relies on the intended data-length limit.
