Summary: NTLMv2 type-3 header stack buffer overflow
Details: libcurl contains a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability. The function creating an outgoing NTLM type-3 header (`lib/vauth/ntlm.c:Curl_auth_create_ntlm_type3_message()`), generates the request HTTP header contents based on previously received data. The check that exists to prevent the local buffer from getting overflowed is implemented wrongly (using unsigned math) and as such it does not prevent the overflow from happening. This output data can grow larger than the local buffer if large response data is extracted from a previous NTLMv2 header provided by the malicious or broken HTTP server. Such large response data needs to be around 1000 bytes or more. The actual payload data copied to the target buffer comes from the NTLMv2 type-2 response header.
