| Description |
| curl before version 7.61.1 is vulnerable to a buffer overrun in the
NTLM authentication code. The internal function
Curl_ntlm_core_mk_nt_hash multiplies the length of the password by two
(SUM) to figure out how large temporary storage area to allocate from
the heap. The length value is then subsequently used to iterate over
the password and generate output into the allocated storage buffer. On
systems with a 32 bit size_t, the math to calculate SUM triggers an
integer overflow when the password length exceeds 2GB (2^31 bytes).
This integer overflow usually causes a very small buffer to actually
get allocated instead of the intended very huge one, making the use of
that buffer end up in a heap buffer overflow. (This bug is almost
identical to CVE-2017-8816.)
