CentOS 9 : curl-7.76.1-22.el9

medium Nessus Plugin ID 191392

Language:

Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for curl.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the curl-7.76.1-22.el9 build changelog.

 - A use after free vulnerability exists in curl <7.87.0. Curl can be asked to *tunnel* virtually all protocols it supports through an HTTP proxy. HTTP proxies can (and often do) deny such tunnel operations.
 When getting denied to tunnel the specific protocols SMB or TELNET, curl would use a heap-allocated struct after it had been freed, in its transfer shutdown code path. (CVE-2022-43552)

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

Solution

Update the CentOS 9 Stream curl package.
