Google: net-misc/curl: security update to 17148.0.0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 453751

Description

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

- A malicious server can serve excessive amounts of `Set-Cookie:` headers in a HTTP response to curl and
curl < 7.84.0 stores all of them. A sufficiently large amount of (big) cookies make subsequent HTTP
requests to this, or other servers to which the cookies match, create requests that become larger than the
threshold that curl uses internally to avoid sending crazy large requests (1048576 bytes) and instead
returns an error.This denial state might remain for as long as the same cookies are kept, match and
haven't expired. Due to cookie matching rules, a server on `foo.example.com` can set cookies that also
would match for `bar.example.com`, making it it possible for a "sister server" to effectively cause a
denial of service for a sibling site on the same second level domain using this method. (CVE-2022-32205)

Solution

Update the net-misc/curl library and its related packages to version 17148.0.0 or later.
