Thanks a lot for your contribution. It need some little more polish though.

In addition to Gigle's remarks I found a few things I think need attention:

No return code? It uses functions that can fail so it should! And the users of
this function then needs to check the return code etc.

I'm not a champion of the SMB code. Can we really be certain that the upload
buffer is always having that data at that index at this point?

What is the point of this copy, since you copy it to another destination again
just 6 lines below? I don't see what the Mac_key local array is needed for?

But why the -4 ? Please add a comment to explain.

Also, malloc() can fail and we always check for that in libcurl. You need to
handle that and bail out nicely with no memory leaks. Thanks!

Really? This makes it seem like this was totally broken before. Was it? Or how
come you can replace a dynamic key use with a fixed one like that?

2. Some compiler complaints that I get when trying a build with your patch
applied: (I recommend "./configure --enable-debug --enable-werror" to discover
them yourself)

smb.c: In function 'smb_sign':
smb.c:301:21: error: pointer targets in assignment differ in signedness

    security_features = conn->data->state.uploadbuffer + 18;
