The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 22.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5823-1 advisory.

  - 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 was used 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 subsequent `POST` request. The problem exists in the logic for a reused handle when it is     changed from a PUT to a POST. (CVE-2022-32221)
