Curl 7.85.0 < 8.7.0 Input Misinterpretation (CVE-2024-2004)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 192699

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has a program that is affected by an input misinterpretation vulnerability.

Description

The version of Curl installed on the remote host is between 7.85.0 and prior to 8.7.0. It is, therefore, affected by an input misinterpretation vulnerability. When a protocol selection parameter option disables all protocols without adding any then the default set of protocols would remain in the allowed set due to an error in the logic for removing protocols. The flaw is only present if the set of selected protocols disables the entire set of available protocols, in itself a command with no practical use and therefore unlikely to be encountered in real situations.

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

Solution

Upgrade Curl to version 8.7.0 or later
