cURL is a tool for getting files from FTP, HTTP, Gopher, Telnet, and Dict
servers, using any of the supported protocols.

A stack based buffer overflow bug was found in cURL’s NTLM authentication
module. It is possible to execute arbitrary code on a user’s machine if
the user can be tricked into connecting to a malicious web server using
NTLM authentication. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
has assigned the name CVE-2005-3185 to this issue.

All users of curl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch that resolve this issue.
