Buffer overflow in Squid NTLM authentication helper

Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in
the NTLM authentication helper routine of the Squid Web
Proxy Cache could allow a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code. A remote attacker can compromise a target
system if the Squid Proxy is configured to use the NTLM
authentication helper. The attacker can send an overly long
password to overflow the buffer and execute arbitrary
code.
