medium Nessus Plugin ID 189567

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for curl.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0428 advisory.

- curl: Incorrect handling of control code characters in cookies (CVE-2022-35252)

- curl: Use-after-free triggered by an HTTP proxy deny response (CVE-2022-43552)

- curl: FTP too eager connection reuse (CVE-2023-27535)

- curl: GSS delegation too eager connection re-use (CVE-2023-27536)

- curl: more POST-after-PUT confusion (CVE-2023-28322)

- curl: information disclosure by exploiting a mixed case flaw (CVE-2023-46218)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL curl package based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:0428.
