I think the logic that tries both versions should rather be moved into the Curl_input_negotiate() function and that could then avoid doing that fail output while "probing". >> If not, I don't see any reason why shouldn't add a bit if it makes or >> allows (lib)curl to behave better. > > Great.

Well, if we exclude SPNEGO for a while (which isn't even certain to still be working afaik) and we do the try-both approach I think we're still functional with the current single bit. Are you up to provide an patch based on what we've discussed so far? -- / daniel.haxx.se ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 08:00:11 -0800 (PST) From: Honey Dont Subject: Re: Parameters in CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION: To: curl-users@cool.haxx.se Message-ID: <585617.73067.qm@web51406.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii --- On Mon, 3/2/09, Daniel Stenberg wrote: > > You're obviously using the library so I would strongly > recommend that you use the curl-library mailing list > instead! > Whoops.

Thanks for this. It makes the function a lot more clear now. But, I can't think of a situation where the size would be more than 1 for what curl is doing. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 13:57:32 -0800 From: "Robert Baker" Subject: Re: Trying to download a filled in webpage To: , Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi Pedro, When I turn on the debugging, I noticed that in the "Issue another request" it shows the correct location, But then it displays the "GET/" with /help/en-ca/browsernotsupported.htm?http%3a%2f%2f with the rest of the correct path to go to.

VULNERABILITY When told to follow a "redirect" automatically, libcurl does not question the new target URL but will follow to any new URL that it understands. As libcurl supports FILE:// URLs, a rogue server can thus "trick" a libcurl-using application to read a local file instead of the remote one. This is a problem, for example, when the application is running on a server and is written to upload or to otherwise provide the transfered data to a user, to another server or to another application etc, as it can be used to expose local files it was not meant to. The problem can also be exploited for uploading, if the rogue server redirects the client to a local file and thus it would (over)write a local file instead of sending it to the server. libcurl compiled to support SCP can get tricked to get a file using embedded semicolons, which can lead to execution of commands on the given server. "Location: scp://name:passwd@host/a'``;date >/tmp/test``;'". Files on servers other than the one running libcurl are also accessible when credentials for those servers are stored in the .netrc file of the user running libcurl. This is most common for FTP servers, but can occur with any protocol supported by libcurl. Files on remote SSH servers are also accessible when the user has an unencrypted SSH key. There is no known exploit at the time of this writing. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2009-0037 to this issue. 2. AFFECTED VERSIONS Affected versions: curl and libcurl 5.11(!) to and including 7.19.3 Not affected versions: curl and libcurl 5.10 and earlier, 7.19.4 and later Also note that (lib)curl is used by many applications, and not always advertised as such. 3. THE SOLUTION libcurl 7.19.4 introduces a new option called CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS, which applications can use to tell libcurl what target protocols automatic redirect followings are allowed to use. This will by default exclude FILE and SCP URLs. 4. RECOMMENDATIONS We suggest you take one of the following actions immediately, in order of preference: A - Upgrade to curl and libcurl 7.19.4 B - Apply the suitable patch and rebuild For current CVS HEAD: http://curl.haxx.se/CVE-2009-0037/curl-CVSHEAD-CVE-2009-0037.patch For curl 7.19.0: http://curl.haxx.se/CVE-2009-0037/curl-7.19.0-CVE-2009-0037.patch For curl 7.18.2: http://curl.haxx.se/CVE-2009-0037/curl-7.18.2-CVE-2009-0037.patch For curl 7.18.1: http://curl.haxx.se/CVE-2009-0037/curl-7.18.1-CVE-2009-0037.patch For curl 7.16.4: http://curl.haxx.se/CVE-2009-0037/curl-7.16.4-CVE-2009-0037.patch For curl 7.15.1: http://curl.haxx.se/CVE-2009-0037/curl-7.15.1-CVE-2009-0037.patch For curl 7.11.0: http://curl.haxx.se/CVE-2009-0037/curl-7.11.0-CVE-2009-0037.patch C - Disable automatic redirection following in your application and do the logic "manually" instead. 5. TIME LINE We were notified by David Kierznowski on Feb 6th, 2009. We discussed solutions and a first patch was written and tested on Feb 11th. Vendor-sec was contacted on Feb 12, 2009. We agreed on and coordinated the synchronous disclosure of this problem together with the curl 7.19.4 release. curl 7.19.4 was released on March 3 2009, just before this flaw was publicly disclosed. 6. CREDITS Reported to us by David Kierznowski. Thanks a lot! Daniel Fandrich researched the issue and helped with the fix. Michal Marek brought the SCP side of this issue and did a bunch of the patch backports. Daniel Stenberg wrote the primary patch and this advisory. -- / daniel.haxx.se ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 21:07:39 -0700 From: Dan Fandrich Subject: Re: Parameters in CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION: To: curl-users@cool.haxx.se Message-ID: <20090303040739.GA29795@coneharvesters.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Mon, Mar 02, 2009 at 08:00:11AM -0800, Honey Dont wrote: > Okay.
