EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : curl (EulerOS-SA-2019-1665)
Medium Nessus Plugin ID 126292
Synopsis
The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.
Description
According to the versions of the curl packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- The ourWriteOut function in tool_writeout.c in curl 7.53.1 might allow physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory in opportunistic circumstances by reading a workstation screen during use of a --write-out argument ending in a '%' character, which leads to a heap-based buffer over-read.(CVE-2017-7407)
- The ConnectionExists function in lib/url.c in libcurl before 7.47.0 does not properly re-use NTLM-authenticated proxy connections, which might allow remote attackers to authenticate as other users via a request, a similar issue to CVE-2014-0015.(CVE-2016-0755)
- Curl versions 7.14.1 through 7.61.1 are vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in the tool_msgs.c:voutf() function that may result in information exposure and denial of service.(CVE-2018-16842)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
Solution
Update the affected curl packages.
