selmelc on hackerone reports:
When curl retrieves an HTTP response, it stores the
incoming headers so that they can be accessed later via
the libcurl headers API.
However, curl did not have a limit in how many or how
large headers it would accept in a response, allowing a
malicious server to stream an endless series of headers
and eventually cause curl to run out of heap memory.
