The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5964-1 advisory.

    Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly handled certain TELNET connection options. Due to lack of     proper input scrubbing, curl could pass on user name and telnet options to the server as provided,     contrary to expectations. (CVE-2023-27533)

    Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly handled special tilde characters when used with SFTP     paths. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to circumvent filtering. (CVE-2023-27534)

    Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly reused certain FTP connections. This could lead to the     wrong credentials being reused, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2023-27535)

    Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly reused connections when the GSS delegation option had been     changed. This could lead to the option being reused, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2023-27536)

    Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly reused certain SSH connections. This could lead to the     wrong credentials being reused, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2023-27538)
