CVE: CVE-2013-2174

Description:
libcurl is vulnerable to a case of bad checking of the input data which may
lead to heap corruption. The function curl_easy_unescape() decodes URL encoded

combinations where HH is a two-digit hexadecimal number. The decoded string is
written to an allocated memory area that the function returns to the caller
(CVE-2013-2174)
