Echo: multiple curl-8.1.1 packages: security update to 7.86.0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476240

Description

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

 - In curl before 7.86.0, the HSTS check could be bypassed to trick it into staying with HTTP. Using its HSTS
 support, curl can be instructed to use HTTPS directly (instead of using an insecure cleartext HTTP step)
 even when HTTP is provided in the URL. This mechanism could be bypassed if the host name in the given URL
 uses IDN characters that get replaced with ASCII counterparts as part of the IDN conversion, e.g., using
 the character UTF-8 U+3002 (IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP) instead of the common ASCII full stop of U+002E (.).
 The earliest affected version is 7.77.0 2021-05-26. (CVE-2022-42916)

Solution

Update the curl-8.1.1 library and its related packages to version 7.86.0 or later.
