Description Josh Bressers 2005-10-13 14:06:53 EDT

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #170678 +++

This text was scavanged from the libcurl advisory:

libcurl's NTLM function can overflow a stack-based buffer if given a too long
user name or domain name. This would happen if you enable NTLM authentication
and either:

 A - pass in a user name and domain name to libcurl that together are longer
     than 192 bytes

 B - allow (lib)curl to follow HTTP "redirects" (Location: and the appropriate
     HTTP 30x response code) and the new URL contains a URL with a user name
     and domain name that together are longer than 192 bytes

Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2005-10-13 14:07:42 EDT

This issue also affects FC3

Comment 2 Mark J. Cox (Product Security) 2005-10-14 06:23:34 EDT

On Fedora Core 4 this is not a security issue; curl is compiled using
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 which catches and blocks this issue.  Therefore on Fedora
Core 4 this can only result in the program being aborted, which is not classed
as a security issue.

Please make a note of this in the advisory of any FC4 update to curl.

Comment 3 Ivana Varekova 2005-10-18 09:53:50 EDT

This bug is fixed in the last fc3 version.
