Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) The following packages are affected: libcurl2 libcurl2-gssapi The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 7.12.0.is.7.11.2-1ubuntu0.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: infamous41md discovered a buffer overflow in cURL's NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication handling. By sending a specially crafted long NTLM reply packet, a remote attacker could overflow the reply buffer. This could lead to execution of arbitrary attacker specified code with the privileges of the application using the cURL library. |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 14034 | cURL/libcURL Kerberos Authentication Multiple Function Overflows A remote overflow exists in cURL. cURL fails to verify the buffer lenght of base64 decoded values in Curl_krb_kauth and krb4_auth functions in Kerberos authentication resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause the execution of arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. |
