Echo: curl: security update to 8.14.0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 465182

Description

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

 - libcurl supports *pinning* of the server certificate public key for HTTPS transfers. Due to an omission,
 this check is not performed when connecting with QUIC for HTTP/3, when the TLS backend is wolfSSL.
 Documentation says the option works with wolfSSL, failing to specify that it does not for QUIC and HTTP/3.
 Since pinning makes the transfer succeed if the pin is fine, users could unwittingly connect to an
 impostor server without noticing. (CVE-2025-5025)

Solution

Update the curl library and its related packages to version 8.14.0 or later.
