CURL-CVE-2005-3185
No affected components available
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
