Google: net-misc/curl: security update to 18244.1.61

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 450587

Description

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

- libcurl did not check the server certificate of TLS connections done to a host specified as an IP address,
when built to use mbedTLS. libcurl would wrongly avoid using the set hostname function when the specified
hostname was given as an IP address, therefore completely skipping the certificate check. This affects all
uses of TLS protocols (HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POPS3, SMTPS, etc). (CVE-2024-2466)

Solution

Update the net-misc/curl library and its related packages to version 18244.1.61 or later.
