(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2042430) with a patch. "NTLM Windows
SSPI code is not thread safe". This was due to libcurl using static
variables to tell wether to load the necessary SSPI DLL, but now the loading
has been moved to the more suitable curl_global_init() call.
#1
There's a compilation error in http_ntlm.c if USE_NTLM2SESSION is NOT
defined. I noticed this while testing various configurations. Line 867 of
the current http_ntlm.c is a closing bracket for an if/else pair that only
gets compiled in if USE_NTLM2SESSION is defined. But this closing bracket
wasn't in an #ifdef so the code fails to compile unless USE_NTLM2SESSION was
defined. Lines 198 and 140 of my patch wraps that closing bracket in an
#ifdef USE_NTLM2SESSION.
#2
I noticed several picky compiler warnings when DEBUG_ME is defined. I've
fixed them with casting. By the way, DEBUG_ME was a huge help in
understanding this code.
#3
Hopefully the last non-ASCII conversion patch for libcurl in a while. I
changed the "NTLMSSP" literal to hex since this signature must always be in
ASCII.
Conversion code was strategically added where necessary. And the
Curl_base64_encode calls were changed so the binary "blobs" http_ntlm.c
creates are NOT translated on non-ASCII platforms.
could very well cause a negate number get passed in and thus cause reading
outside of the array usually used for this purpose.
We avoid this by using the uppercase macro versions introduced just now that
does some extra crazy typecasts to avoid byte codes > 127 to cause negative
int values.
(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2006-02/0154.html) by adding the NTLM hash
function in addition to the LM one and making some other adjustments in the
order the different parts of the data block are sent in the Type-2 reply.
Inspiration for this work was taken from the Firefox NTLM implementation.
I edited the existing 21(!) NTLM test cases to run fine with these news. Due
to the fact that we now properly include the host name in the Type-2 message
the test cases now only compare parts of that chunk.
version of libcurl with different Windows versions. Current version of
libcurl imports SSPI functions from secur32.dll. However, under Windows NT
4.0 these functions are located in security.dll, under Windows 9x - in
secur32.dll and Windows 2000 and XP contains both these DLLs (security.dll
just forwards calls to secur32.dll).
Dmitry's patch loads proper library dynamically depending on Windows
version. Function InitSecurityInterface() is used to obtain pointers to all
of SSPI function in one structure.

internally, with code provided by sslgen.c. All SSL-layer-specific code is
then written in ssluse.c (for OpenSSL) and gtls.c (for GnuTLS).
As far as possible, internals should not need to know what SSL layer that is
in use. Building with GnuTLS currently makes two test cases fail.
TODO.gnutls contains a few known outstanding issues for the GnuTLS support.
GnuTLS support is enabled with configure --with-gnutls
USE_WINDOWS_SSPI on Windows, and then libcurl will be built to use the native
way to do NTLM. SSPI also allows libcurl to pass on the current user and its
password in the request.
got no notification, no mail, no nothing.
You didn't even bother to mail us when you went public with this. Cool.
NTLM buffer overflow fix, as reported here:
http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/391042
libcurl always and unconditionally overwrote a stack-based array with 3 zero
bytes. I edited the fix to make it less likely to occur again (and added
a comment explaining the reason to the buffer size).
authenticates connections and not single requests. This should make it work
better when we mix requests from multiple hosts. Problem pointed out by
Cris Bailiff.
