Amazon Linux 2023 : curl, curl-minimal, libcurl (ALAS2023-2026-3267)

high Nessus Plugin ID 371899

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-3267 advisory.

 During an upload, curl mishandles HTTP/2 `RST_STREAM` received from the server (with reason `HTTP_1_1_REQUIRED` or `REFUSED_STREAM`) leading to a use after free of a `struct Curl_easy` object.
 (CVE-2026-92392)

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

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update curl --releasever 2023.12.20261026' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-3267 --releasever 2023.12.20261026' to update your system.
