Alpine: curl: security update to 7.61.1-r1
critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 403982
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- Curl versions 7.33.0 through 7.61.1 are vulnerable to a buffer overrun in the SASL authentication code
that may lead to denial of service. (CVE-2018-16839)
- A heap use-after-free flaw was found in curl versions from 7.59.0 through 7.61.1 in the code related to
closing an easy handle. When closing and cleaning up an 'easy' handle in the `Curl_close()` function, the
library code first frees a struct (without nulling the pointer) and might then subsequently erroneously
write to a struct field within that already freed struct. (CVE-2018-16840)
- Curl versions 7.14.1 through 7.61.1 are vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in the
tool_msgs.c:voutf() function that may result in information exposure and denial of service.
