Echo: curl-7.69.1: security update to 7.69.1+e1

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 476272

Description

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

 - When doing HTTP(S) transfers, libcurl might erroneously use the read callback (`CURLOPT_READFUNCTION`) to
 ask for data to send, even when the `CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS` option has been set, if the same handle
 previously was used to issue a `PUT` request which used that callback. This flaw may surprise the
 application and cause it to misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or
 similar in the subsequent `POST` request. The problem exists in the logic for a reused handle when it is
 changed from a PUT to a POST. (CVE-2022-32221)

Solution

Update the curl-7.69.1 library and its related packages to version 7.69.1+e1 or later.
