TencentOS Server 3: curl (TSSA-2024:0097)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 238645
Synopsis
The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0097 advisory.Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2023-28322:
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 when doing HTTP(S) transfers, libcurl might erroneously use the read callback (CURLOPT_READFUNCTION) to ask for data to send, even when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option has been set, if the same handle previously wasused to issue a PUT request which used that callback. This flaw may surprise the application and cause it to misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer. The problem exists in the logic for a reused handle when it is (expected to be) changed from a PUT to a POST.
CVE-2023-38546:
A flaw was found in the Curl package. This flaw allows an attacker to insert cookies into a running program using libcurl if the specific series of conditions are met.
CVE-2023-46218:
A flaw was found in curl that verifies a given cookie domain against the Public Suffix List. This issue could allow a malicious HTTP server to set super cookies in curl that are passed back to more origins than what is otherwise allowed or possible.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
