The version of curl installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.1-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2070 advisory.

    The curl advisory describes this issue as follows:

    curl supports communicating using the TELNET protocol and as a part of this it offers users to pass on     user name and telnet options for the server negotiation.

    Due to lack of proper input scrubbing and without it being the documented functionality, curl would pass     on user name and telnet options to the server as provided. This could allow users to pass in carefully     crafted content that pass on content or do option negotiation without the application intending to do so.
    In particular if an application for example allows users to provide the data or parts of the data.
    (CVE-2023-27533)

    The curl advisory describes this issue as follows:

    curl supports SFTP transfers. curl's SFTP implementation offers a special feature in the path component of     URLs: a tilde (~) character as the first path element in the path to denotes a path relative to the user's     home directory. This is supported because of wording in the once proposed to-become RFC draft that was to     dictate how SFTP URLs work.

    Due to a bug, the handling of the tilde in SFTP path did however not only replace it when it is used     stand-alone as the first path element but also wrongly when used as a mere prefix in the first element.

    Using a path like /~2/foo when accessing a server using the user dan (with home directory /home/dan) would     then quite surprisingly access the file /home/dan2/foo.

    This can be taken advantage of to circumvent filtering or worse. (CVE-2023-27534)

    The curl advisory describes this issue as follows:

    libcurl would reuse a previously created FTP connection even when one or more options had been changed     that could have made the effective user a very different one, thus leading to the doing the second     transfer with wrong credentials. (CVE-2023-27535)

    The curl advisory describes this issue as follows:

    libcurl would reuse a previously created connection even when the GSS delegation     (CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION) option had been changed that could have changed the user's permissions in a     second transfer.

    libcurl keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent transfers to reuse if one of     them matches the setup. However, this GSS delegation setting was left out from the configuration match     checks, making them match too easily, affecting krb5/kerberos/negotiate/GSSAPI transfers. (CVE-2023-27536)

    The curl advisory describes this issue as follows:

    libcurl supports sharing HSTS data between separate handles. This sharing was introduced without     considerations for doing this sharing across separate threads, but there was no indication of this fact in     the documentation. Due to missing mutexes or thread locks, two threads sharing the same HSTS data could     end up doing a double-free or use-after-free. (CVE-2023-27537)

    The curl advisory describes this issue as follows:

    libcurl would reuse a previously created connection even when an SSH related option had been changed that     should have prohibited reuse.

    libcurl keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent transfers to reuse if one of     them matches the setup. However, two SSH settings were left out from the configuration match checks,     making them match too easily. (CVE-2023-27538)

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

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

According to the versions of the curl packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A path traversal vulnerability exists in curl <8.0.0 SFTP implementation causes the tilde (~) character to     be wrongly replaced when used as a prefix in the first path element, in addition to its intended use as     the first element to indicate a path relative to the user's home directory. Attackers can exploit this     flaw to bypass filtering or execute arbitrary code by crafting a path like /~2/foo while accessing a     server with a specific user. (CVE-2023-27534)

  - An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in libcurl <8.0.0 in the FTP connection reuse feature that     can result in wrong credentials being used during subsequent transfers. Previously created connections are     kept in a connection pool for reuse if they match the current setup. However, certain FTP settings such as     CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT, CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER, CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC, and CURLOPT_USE_SSL were not     included in the configuration match checks, causing them to match too easily. This could lead to libcurl     using the wrong credentials when performing a transfer, potentially allowing unauthorized access to     sensitive information. (CVE-2023-27535)

  - An authentication bypass vulnerability exists libcurl <8.0.0 in the connection reuse feature which can     reuse previously established connections with incorrect user permissions due to a failure to check for     changes in the CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION option. This vulnerability affects krb5/kerberos/negotiate/GSSAPI     transfers and could potentially result in unauthorized access to sensitive information. The safest option     is to not reuse connections if the CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION option has been changed. (CVE-2023-27536)

  - An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in libcurl prior to v8.0.0 where it reuses a previously     established SSH connection despite the fact that an SSH option was modified, which should have prevented     reuse. libcurl maintains a pool of previously used connections to reuse them for subsequent transfers if     the configurations match. However, two SSH settings were omitted from the configuration check, allowing     them to match easily, potentially leading to the reuse of an inappropriate connection. (CVE-2023-27538)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to the versions of the curl packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A vulnerability in input validation exists in curl <8.0 during communication using the TELNET protocol may     allow an attacker to pass on maliciously crafted user name and 'telnet options' during server negotiation.
    The lack of proper input scrubbing allows an attacker to send content or perform option negotiation     without the application's intent. This vulnerability could be exploited if an application allows user     input, thereby enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code on the system. (CVE-2023-27533)

  - A path traversal vulnerability exists in curl <8.0.0 SFTP implementation causes the tilde (~) character to     be wrongly replaced when used as a prefix in the first path element, in addition to its intended use as     the first element to indicate a path relative to the user's home directory.

However, two SSH settings were omitted from the configuration check, allowing     them to match easily, potentially leading to the reuse of an inappropriate connection. (CVE-2023-27538)

  - An improper certificate validation vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 in the way it supports matching of     wildcard patterns when listed as 'Subject Alternative Name' in TLS server certificates. curl can be built     to use its own name matching function for TLS rather than one provided by a TLS library. This private     wildcard matching function would match IDN (International Domain Name) hosts incorrectly and could as a     result accept patterns that otherwise should mismatch. IDN hostnames are converted to puny code before     used for certificate checks. Puny coded names always start with `xn--` and should not be allowed to     pattern match, but the wildcard check in curl could still check for `x*`, which would match even though     the IDN name most likely contained nothing even resembling an `x`. (CVE-2023-28321)

  - 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-2023-28322)
