CVE-2025-0725 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.3) affecting hci baseboard management controller, hci h610s firmware, hci h610c firmware. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

When libcurl is asked to perform automatic gzip decompression of content-encoded HTTP responses with the `CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING` option, **using zlib 1.2.0.3 or older**, an attacker-controlled integer overflow would make libcurl perform a buffer overflow.
