## Description

The sanitize\_cookie\_path function in cURL and libcurl 7.31.0 through 7.41.0
does not properly calculate an index, which allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) or possibly have
other unspecified impact via a cookie path containing only a double-quote
character.
