Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-11053

low Nessus Plugin ID 227747

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- When asked to both use a `.netrc` file for credentials and to follow HTTP redirects, curl could leak the password used for the first host to the followed-to host under certain circumstances. This flaw only manifests itself if the netrc file has an entry that matches the redirect target hostname but the entry either omits just the password or omits both login and password. (CVE-2024-11053)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
