Security problem: CVE-2013-2174
If a program would give a string like "%FF" to curl_easy_unescape() but
ask for it to decode only the first byte, it would still parse and
decode the full hex sequence. The function then not only read beyond the
allowed buffer but it would also deduct the *unsigned* counter variable
for how many more bytes there's left to read in the buffer by two,
making the counter wrap. Continuing this, the function would go on
reading beyond the buffer and soon writing beyond the allocated target
buffer...

As a remedy to the problem when a socket gets closed and a new one is
opened with the same file descriptor number and as a result
multi.c:singlesocket() doesn't detect the difference, the new function
Curl_multi_closed() gets told when a socket is closed so that it can be
removed from the socket hash. When the old one has been removed, a new
socket should be detected fine by the singlesocket() on next invoke.

When performing COOKIELIST operations the cookie lock needs to be taken

When curl_multi_wait() finds no file descriptor to wait for, it returns
instantly and this must be handled gracefully within curl_easy_perform()
or cause a busy-loop. Starting now, repeated fast returns without any
file descriptors is detected and a gradually increasing sleep will be
used (up to a max of 1000 milliseconds) before continuing the loop.

The initial fix to only compare full path names were done in commit
04f52e9b4d but found out to be incomplete. This takes should make the
change more complete and there's now two additional tests to verify
(test 31 and 62).
By always returning the md5 for an empty body when auth-int is asked
for, libcurl now at least sometimes does the right thing.

Allow less room for "triggered too early" mistakes by applications /
timers on non-windows platforms. Starting now, we assume that a timeout
call is never made earlier than 3 milliseconds before the actual
timeout. This greatly improves timeout accuracy on Linux.

In the pkcs12 code, we get a list of x509 records returned from
PKCS12_parse but when iterating over the list and passing each to
SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() we didn't also properly remove them from
the "stack", which made them get freed twice (both in sk_X509_pop_free()
and then later in SSL_CTX_free).
This isn't really documented anywhere...

commit 29bf0598aa introduced a problem when the "internal" timeout is
prefered to the given if shorter, as it didn't consider the case where
-1 was returned. Now the internal timeout is only considered if not -1.

If the multi handle's pending timeout is less than what is passed into
this function, it will now opt to use the shorter time anyway since it
is a very good hint that the handle wants to process something in a
shorter time than what otherwise would happen.
curl_multi_wait.3 was updated accordingly to clarify
This is the reason for bug #1224

We found that in specific cases if the connection is abruptly closed,
the underlying socket is listed in a close_wait state. We continue to
call the curl_multi_perform, curl_mutli_fdset etc. None of these APIs
report the socket closed / connection finished. Since we have cases
where the multi connection is only used once, this can pose a problem
for us. I've read that if another connection was to come in, curl would
see the socket as bad and attempt to close it at that time -
unfortunately, this does not work for us.
I found that in specific situations, if SSL_write returns 0, curl did
not recognize the socket as closed (or errored out) and did not report
it to the application. I believe we need to change the code slightly, to
check if ssl_write returns 0. If so, treat it as an error - the same as
a negative return code.
For OpenSSL - the ssl_write documentation is here:
http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_write.html
1 - don't skip host names with a colon in them in an attempt to bail out
on HTTP headers in the cookie file parser. It was only a shortcut anyway
and trying to parse a file with HTTP headers will still be handled, only
slightly slower.
2 - don't skip domain names based on number of dots. The original
netscape cookie spec had this oddity mentioned and while our code
decreased the check to only check for two, the existing cookie spec has
no such dot counting required.

I found a bug which cURL sends cookies to the path not to aim at.
For example:
- cURL sends a request to http://example.fake/hoge/
- server returns cookie which with path=/hoge;
the point is there is NOT the '/' end of path string.
- cURL sends a request to http://example.fake/hogege/ with the cookie.
The reason for this old "feature" is because that behavior is what is
described in the original netscape cookie spec:
http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/cookie_spec.html
The current cookie spec (RFC6265) clarifies the situation:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#section-5.2.4
This reverts commit 8ec2cb5544.
We don't have any code anywhere in libcurl (or the curl tool) that use
wcsdup so there's no such memory use to track. It seems to cause mild
problems with the Borland compiler though that we may avoid by reverting
this change again.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-05/0070.html
If the mail sent during the transfer contains a terminating <CRLF> then
we should not send the first <CRLF> of the EOB as specified in RFC-5321.
Additionally don't send the <CRLF> if there is "no mail data" as the
DATA command already includes it.
The code within #ifdef HAVE_SOCKADDR_IN6_SIN6_SCOPE_ID wrongly had two
closing braces when it should only have one, so builds without that
define would fail.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-05/0000.html
The curl command line utility would display the the completed progress
bar with a percentage of zero as the progress routines didn't know the
size of the transfer.
Removed the hard returns from imap and pop3 by using the same style for
sending the authentication string as smtp. Moved the "Other mechanisms
not supported" check in smtp to match that of imap and pop3 to provide
consistency between the three email protocols.
Users using the Secure Transport (darwinssl) back-end can now use a
certificate and private key to authenticate with a site using TLS. Because
Apple's security system is based around the keychain and does not have any
non-public function to create a SecIdentityRef data structure from data
loaded outside of the Keychain, the certificate and private key have to be
loaded into the Keychain first (using the certtool command line tool or
the Security framework's C API) before we can find it and use it.
In addition to checking for the SASL-IR capability the user can override
the sending of the client's initial response in the AUTHENTICATION
command with the use of CURLOPT_SASL_IR should the server erroneously
not report SASL-IR when it does support it.
Updated the default behaviour of sending the client's initial response in the AUTH
command to not send it and added support for CURLOPT_SASL_IR to allow the user to
specify including the response.

By introducing an internal alternative to curl_multi_init() that accepts
parameters to set the hash sizes, easy handles will now use tiny socket
and connection hash tables since it will only ever add a single easy
handle to that multi handle.
This decreased the number mallocs in test 40 (which is a rather simple
and typical easy interface use case) from 1142 to 138. The maximum
amount of memory allocated used went down from 118969 to 78805.
When connecting back to an FTP server after having sent PASV/EPSV,
libcurl sometimes didn't use the proxy properly even though the proxy
was used for the initial connect.
The function wrongly checked for the CURLOPT_PROXY variable to be set,
which made it act wrongly if the proxy information was set with an
environment variable.
Added test case 711 to verify (based on 707 which uses --socks5). Also
added test712 to verify another variation of setting the proxy: with
--proxy socks5://
