The current advisory appears inaccurate in several key fields. According to the curl project’s official security advisory for CVE-2016-8620, this issue affects the curl tool globbing parser only, not the libcurl library. The official advisory classifies the issue as Medium severity, identifies the weakness as CWE-122 (Heap-based Buffer Overflow), states that affected versions are curl 7.34.0 through 7.50.3 inclusive, and that the issue was fixed in 7.51.0. The current GitHub advisory severity, CVSS vector, and CWE classification do not match the upstream curl advisory. This update aligns the advisory with the project’s official disclosure and fix reference.
