cURL / libcURL Kerberos Authentication Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

It has been reported that cURL and libcURL are vulnerable to a remotely exploitable stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. The cURL and libcURL Kerberos authentication code fails to ensure that a buffer overflow cannot occur when server response data is decoded.

The overflow occurs in the stack region, and remote code execution is possible if the saved instruction pointer is overwritten with a pointer to embedded instructions.
