    Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly handled SASL authentication. A remote attacker could use
    this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

    Brian Carpenter discovered that curl incorrectly handled memory when closing certain handles. A remote
    attacker could use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
    execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-16840)

    Brian Carpenter discovered that the curl command-line tool incorrectly handled error messages. A remote
    attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2018-16842)
