Protocols (IMAP, POP3 and SMTP) that use the path part of a URL in a
decoded manner now use the new Curl_urldecode() function to reject URLs
with embedded control codes (anything that is or decodes to a byte value
less than 32).
URLs containing such codes could easily otherwise be used to do harm and
allow users to do unintended actions with otherwise innocent tools and
applications. Like for example using a URL like
pop3://pop3.example.com/1%0d%0aDELE%201 when the app wants a URL to get
a mail and instead this would delete one.
This flaw is considered a security vulnerability: CVE-2012-0036
Security advisory at: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20120124.html
Reported by: Dan Fandrich
The STARTTLS response code in SMTP, POP3 and IMAP would return
CURLE_LOGIN_DENIED rather than CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED when SSL/TLS
was not available on the server.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2012-01/0018.html
By setting PROTOPT_NOURLQUERY in the protocol handler struct, the
protocol will get the "query part" of the URL cut off before the data is
handled by the protocol-specific code. This makes libcurl adhere to
RFC3986 section 2.2.
Test 1220 is added to verify a file:// URL with query-part.
Now called 'use_ssl' instead, which better matches the current CURLOPT
name and since the option is used for all pingpong protocols (at least)
it makes sense to not use 'ftp' in the name.
After a PORT has been issued, and the multi handle would switch to the
CURLM_STATE_DO_MORE state (which is unique for FTP), libcurl would
return the wrong fdset to wait for when curl_multi_fdset() is
called. The code would blindly assume that it was waiting for a connect
of the second connection, while that isn't true immediately after the
PORT command.
Also, the function multi.c:domore_getsock() was highly FTP-centric and
therefore ugly to keep in protocol-agnostic code. I solved this problem
by introducing a new function pointer in the Curl_handler struct called
domore_getsock() which is only called during the DOMORE state for
protocols that set that pointer.
The new ftp.c:ftp_domore_getsock() function now returns fdset info about
the control connection's command/response handling while such a state is
in use, and goes over to waiting for a writable second connection first
once the commands are done.
The original problem could be seen by running test 525 and checking the
time stamps in the FTP server log. I can verify that this fix at least
fixes this problem.

Modified smtp_endofresp() to detect NTLM from the server specified list
of supported authentication mechanisms.
Modified smtp_authenticate() to start the sending of the NTLM data.
Added smtp_auth_ntlm_type1_message() which creates a NTLM type-1
message. This function is used by authenticate() to start the sending
of data and by smtp_state_auth_ntlm_resp() when the AUTH command
doesn't contain the type-1 message as part of the initial response.
This lack of initial response can happen if an OOM error occurs or the
type-1 message is longer than 504 characters. As the main AUTH command
is limited to 512 character the data has to be transmitted in two
parts; one containing the AUTH NTLM and the second containing the
type-1 message.
Added smtp_state_auth_ntlm_type2msg_resp() which handles the incoming
type-2 message and sends an outgoing type-3 message. This type-2
message is sent by the server in response to our type-1 message.
Modified smtp_state_auth_resp() to handle the response to: the AUTH
NTLM without the initial response and the type-2 response.
Modified smtp_disconnect() to cleanup the NTLM SSPI stack.
Changed the name of variable l, in several functions, which represents
the length of strings being sent to the server, to len which is more
meaningful and consistent with other code in smtp.c and elsewhere.
Reworked smtp_authenticate() to be simpler and easier to follow.
Variables and now initialised in their definitions and if no username
and password are specified the function sets the state to SMTP_STOP and
returns immediately, rather than being part of a huge if statement.
The size of the email can now be set via CURLOPT_INFILESIZE. This
allows the email to be rejected by the server, if supported, and the
maximum size has been configured on the server.
I think curl should ignore this case and smtp.c should test for this.
Since RFC-2821 seems to allow a "null reverse-path". Ref. "MAIL
FROM:<>" in section 3.7, page 25.
Fixed the order of the preferred SMTP authentication method to:
AUTH CRAM-MD5, AUTH LOGIN then AUTH PLAIN.
AUTH PLAIN should be the last as it slightly more insecure than AUTH LOGIN
as the username and password are sent together - there is no handshaking
between the client and server like there is with AUTH LOGIN.
Previous interfaces for these libcurl internal functions did not allow to tell
apart a legitimate zero size result from an error condition. These functions
now return a CURLcode indicating function success or otherwise specific error.
Output size is returned using a pointer argument.
All usage of these two functions, and others closely related, has been adapted
to the new interfaces. Relative error and OOM handling adapted or added where
missing. Unit test 1302 also adapted.
As I modified conn->bits.tcpconnect to become an array that holds one
bool for each potential connection all uses of that struct field must
index it correctly.
The new http_proxy.* files now host HTTP proxy specific code (500+ lines
moved out from http.c), and as a consequence there is a macro introduced
for the Curl_proxyCONNECT() function so that code can use it without
actually supporting proxy (or HTTP) in builds.
The PROT_* set of internal defines for the protocols is no longer
used. We now use the same bits internally as we have defined in the
public header using the CURLPROTO_ prefix. This is for simplicity and
because the PROT_* prefix was already used duplicated internally for a
set of KRB4 values.
The PROTOPT_* defines were moved up to just below the struct definition
within which they are used.
The protocol handler struct got a 'flags' field for special information
and characteristics of the given protocol.
This now enables us to move away central protocol information such as
CLOSEACTION and DUALCHANNEL from single defines in a central place, out
to each protocol's definition. It also made us stop abusing the protocol
field for other info than the protocol, and we could start cleaning up
other protocol-specific things by adding flags bits to set in the
handler struct.
The "protocol" field connectdata struct was removed as well and the code
now refers directly to the conn->handler->protocol field instead. To
make things work properly, the code now always store a conn->given
pointer that points out the original handler struct so that the code can
learn details from the original protocol even if conn->handler is
modified along the way - for example when switching to go over a HTTP
proxy.
Similar to what is done already for RCPT TO, the code now checks for and
adds angle brackets (<>) around the email address that is provided for
CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT unless the app has done so itself.
It helps to prevent a hangup with some FTP servers in case idle session
timeout has exceeded. But it may be useful also for other protocols
that send any quit message on disconnect. Currently used by FTP, POP3,
IMAP and SMTP.
Previously the host name buffer was only used if gethostname() exists,
but since we converted that into a curl private function that function
always exists and will be used so the buffer needs to exist for all
cases/systems.
A shared library tests/libtest/.libs/lihostname.so is preloaded in NTLM
test-cases to override the system implementation of gethostname(). It
makes it possible to test the NTLM authentication for exact match, and
this way test the implementation of MD4 and DES.
If LD_PRELOAD doesn't work, a debug build willl also workk as debug
builds are now made to prefer a specific environment variable and will
then return that content as host name instead of the actual one.
Kamil wrote the bulk of this, Daniel Stenberg polished it.
