Mandriva Security Advisories MDKSA-2005:182 : curl

 

Updated curl packages fix NTLM authentication vulnerability

October 13th, 2005

 

A vulnerability in libcurl's NTLM function can overflow a stack-based buffer if given too long a user name or domain name in NTLM authentication is enabled and either a) pass a user and domain name to libcurl that together are longer than 192 bytes or b) allow (lib)curl to follow HTTP redirects and the new URL contains a URL with a user and domain name that together are longer than 192 bytes.

 

The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.

 

 

The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are:

  • 10.1
  • CS3.0
  • MNF2.0
  • 10.2
  • 2006.0
