Google: net-misc/curl: security update to 18244.1.61

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 451579

Description

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

- When an application tells libcurl it wants to allow HTTP/2 server push, and the amount of received headers
for the push surpasses the maximum allowed limit (1000), libcurl aborts the server push. When aborting,
libcurl inadvertently does not free all the previously allocated headers and instead leaks the memory.
Further, this error condition fails silently and is therefore not easily detected by an application.
(CVE-2024-2398)

Solution

Update the net-misc/curl library and its related packages to version 18244.1.61 or later.
