What is CVE-2019-3822?

libcurl, specifically versions ranging from 7.36.0 to just before 7.64.0, contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. This occurs in the function responsible for crafting outgoing NTLM type-3 headers. Due to incorrect checks in the implementation, the function allows for the potential overflow of the local buffer when processing excessively large 'nt response' data received from a manipulated HTTP server. Mitigating this vulnerability is essential to prevent exploitation that could lead to significant disruptions or unauthorized access.
