Echo: curl-7.69.1: security update to 7.69.1+e2

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478510

Description

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

 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 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 wasused 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 second transfer. The problem exists in the
 logic for a reused handle when it is (expected to be) changed from a PUT to a POST. (CVE-2023-28322)

Solution

Update the curl-7.69.1 library and its related packages to version 7.69.1+e2 or later.
