    CVE-2018-14618: NTLM password overflow via integer overflow

    The internal function Curl_ntlm_core_mk_nt_hash multiplies the length of
    the password by two (SUM) to figure out how large temporary storage area to
    allocate from the heap.

    The length value is then subsequently used to iterate over the password and
    generate output into the allocated storage buffer. On systems with a 32 bit
    size_t, the math to calculate SUM triggers an integer overflow when the
    password length exceeds 2GB (2^31 bytes). This integer overflow usually
    causes a very small buffer to actually get allocated instead of the
    intended very huge one, making the use of that buffer end up in a heap
    buffer overflow.

    This bug is almost identical to CVE-2017-8816.
