    Summary: NTLM Buffer Overflow

    Details: libcurl's NTLM function can overflow a stack-based buffer if given a too long username or domain name. This would happen if you enable NTLM authentication and either: A - pass in a username 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 username and domain name that together are longer than 192 bytes
