CVE-2017-7407: Haxx Curl

Low severity, CVSS 2.4. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The ourWriteOut function in tool_writeout.c in curl 7.53.1 might allow physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory in opportunistic circumstances by reading a workstation screen during use of a --write-out argument ending in a '%' character, which leads to a heap-based buffer over-read.
