MiracleLinux 4 : curl-7.19.7-46.AXS4 (AXSA:2015-432:02)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 289436

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2015-432:02 advisory.

cURL is a tool for getting files from HTTP, FTP, FILE, LDAP, LDAPS, DICT, TELNET and TFTP servers, using any of the supported protocols.
cURL is designed to work without user interaction or any kind of interactivity. cURL offers many useful capabilities, like proxy support, user authentication, FTP upload, HTTP post, and file transfer resume.
Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2014-3613 CVE-2014-3707 CVE-2014-8150 CVE-2015-3143 CVE-2015-3148 Fixed bugs:
* An out-of-protocol fallback to SSL version 3.0 (SSLv3.0) was available with libcurl. Attackers could abuse the fallback to force downgrade of the SSL version. To fix this bug, the fallback has been removed from libcurl.
* A single upload transfer through the FILE protocol opened the destination file twice. If the inotify kernel subsystem monitored the file, two events were produced unnecessarily.
* Utilities using libcurl for SCP/SFTP transfers could terminate unexpectedly when the system was running in FIPS mode.
* Using the --retry option with the curl utility could cause curl to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. Now, adding --retry no longer causes curl to crash.
* The curl --trace-time command did not use the correct local time when printing timestamps. With this update, fixed it.
* The valgrind utility could report dynamically allocated memory leaks on curl exit. With this update, the bug has been fixed.
* Previously, libcurl returned an incorrect value of the CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE field when a proxy server appended its own headers to the HTTP response. The problem has been fixed with this update.
Enhancements:
* The --tlsv1.0, --tlsv1.1, and --tlsv1.2 options are available for specifying the minor version of the TLS protocol to be negotiated by NSS. The
--tlsv1 option now negotiates the highest version of the TLS protocol supported by both the client and the server.
* It is now possible to explicitly enable or disable the ECC and the new AES cipher suites to be used for TLS.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected curl, libcurl and / or libcurl-devel packages.
