The cURL project reports in a security advisory:

Using the affected libcurl version to download compressed content over HTTP, an application can ask libcurl to automatically uncompress data. When doing so, libcurl can wrongly send data up to 64K in size to the callback which thus is much larger than the documented maximum size.

An application that blindly trusts libcurl's max limit for a fixed buffer size or similar is then a possible target for a buffer overflow vulnerability.

ge 7.10.5 lt 7.20.0

Secunia reports:

The security issue is caused due to cURL following HTTP Location: redirects to e.g. scp:// or file:// URLs which can be exploited by a malicious HTTP server to overwrite or disclose the content of arbitrary local files and potentially execute arbitrary commands via specially crafted redirect URLs.

Two iDEFENSE Security Advisories reports:

An exploitable stack-based buffer overflow condition exists when using NT Lan Manager (NTLM) authentication. The problem specifically exists within Curl_input_ntlm() defined in lib/http_ntlm.c.

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code under the privileges of the target user. Exploitation requires that an attacker either coerce or force a target to connect to a malicious server using NTLM authentication.

An exploitable stack-based buffer overflow condition exists when using Kerberos authentication. The problem specifically exists within the functions Curl_krb_kauth() and krb4_auth() defined in lib/krb4.c.

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code under the privileges of the target user. Exploitation requires that an attacker either coerce or force a target to connect to a malicious server using Kerberos authentication.
