medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478562

Description

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

 - When curl is told to use the Certificate Status Request TLS extension, often referred to as OCSP stapling,
 to verify that the server certificate is valid, it might fail to detect some OCSP problems and instead
 wrongly consider the response as fine. If the returned status reports another error than 'revoked' (like
 for example 'unauthorized') it is not treated as a bad certficate. (CVE-2024-8096)

Solution

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