Google: net-misc/curl: security update to 18137.0.0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 450461

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- This flaw allows a malicious HTTP server to set "super cookies" in curl that are then passed back to more
origins than what is otherwise allowed or possible. This allows a site to set cookies that then would get
sent to different and unrelated sites and domains. It could do this by exploiting a mixed case flaw in
curl's function that verifies a given cookie domain against the Public Suffix List (PSL). For example a
cookie could be set with `domain=co.UK` when the URL used a lower case hostname `curl.co.uk`, even though
`co.uk` is listed as a PSL domain. (CVE-2023-46218)

Solution

Update the net-misc/curl library and its related packages to version 18137.0.0 or later.
