low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478478

Description

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

 - When asked to both use a `.netrc` file for credentials and to follow HTTP redirects, curl could leak the
 password used for the first host to the followed-to host under certain circumstances. This flaw only
 manifests itself if the netrc file has an entry that matches the redirect target hostname but the entry
 either omits just the password or omits both login and password. (CVE-2024-11053)

Solution

Update the curl-8.1.1 library and its related packages to version 8.1.1+e2 or later.
