NTLM type-2 out-of-bounds buffer read

view advisory published 2019-02-06Licence: per source

libcurl contains a heap buffer out-of-bounds read flaw. The function handling incoming NTLM type-2 messages (`lib/vauth/ntlm.c:ntlm_decode_type2_target`) does not validate incoming data correctly and is subject to an integer overflow vulnerability. Using that overflow, a malicious or broken NTLM server could trick libcurl to accept a bad length + offset combination that would lead to a buffer read out-of-bounds.
