Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-14819

medium Nessus Plugin ID 282311

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 doing TLS related transfers with reused easy or multi handles and altering the `CURLSSLOPT_NO_PARTIALCHAIN` option, libcurl could accidentally reuse a CA store cached in memory for which the partial chain option was reversed. Contrary to the user's wishes and expectations. This could make libcurl find and accept a trust chain that it otherwise would not. (CVE-2025-14819)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
