When doing a second SMB request to the same host again, curl would wrongly use a data pointer pointing into already freed memory.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:0911-1 advisory.

The version of curl installed on the remote host is 8.13.0 prior to 8.19.0 . It is, therefore, affected by a use after free in SMB connection vulnerability:

  - When doing a second SMB request to the same host again, curl would wrongly use a data pointer pointing     into already freed memory. (CVE-2026-3805)

An update of the curl package has been released.

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8084-1 advisory.

    Zhicheng Chen discovered that curl could incorrectly reuse the wrong connection for Negotiate-     authenticated HTTP or HTTPS requests. This could result in the use of credentials from a different     connection, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2026-1965)

    It was discovered that curl incorrectly leaked OAuth2 bearer tokens when following a redirect. This could     result in tokens being sent to the wrong host, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2026-3783)

    Muhamad Arga Reksapati discovered that curl incorrectly reused existing HTTP proxy connections even if the     request used different credentials. This could result in the use of incorrect credentials, contrary to     expectations. (CVE-2026-3784)

    Daniel Wade discovered that curl incorrectly handled certain memory operations when doing a second SMB     request to the same host. An attacker could use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial     of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 25.10. (CVE-2026-3805)

    Yihang Zhou discovered that curl incorrectly reused .netrc file credentials when following redirects. This     could result in the use of credentials for a different host, contrary to expectations. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2025-0167)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - When doing a second SMB request to the same host again, curl would wrongly use a data pointer pointing     into already freed memory. (CVE-2026-3805)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
