AlmaLinux 9.6 [TuxCare] Security Update: curl / curl-minimal / libcurl / libcurl-devel / libcurl-minimal (ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2025:1767083454)

low Nessus Plugin ID 360629

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2025:1767083454 advisory.

 - When asked to 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 a `default` entry that omits both login and password. A rare circumstance. (CVE-2025-0167)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2025:1767083454.
