CVE-2026-92391 is an uncontrolled-recursion vulnerability in libcurl's MIME cleanup handling. A deeply nested multipart MIME structure constructed through the public API causes curl_mime_free to recurse excessively while traversing and freeing the structure. The resulting stack exhaustion can crash the application hosting libcurl. The vulnerability affects curl versions before 8.23.0, subject to distribution-specific backported fixes.
