The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0428 advisory.

  - curl: Incorrect handling of control code characters in cookies (CVE-2022-35252)

  - curl: Use-after-free triggered by an HTTP proxy deny response (CVE-2022-43552)

  - curl: FTP too eager connection reuse (CVE-2023-27535)

  - curl: GSS delegation too eager connection re-use (CVE-2023-27536)

  - curl: more POST-after-PUT confusion (CVE-2023-28322)

  - curl: information disclosure by exploiting a mixed case flaw (CVE-2023-46218)

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

The version of curl installed on the remote host is prior to 7.61.1-12.104. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1729 advisory.

  - A use after free vulnerability exists in curl <7.87.0. Curl can be asked to *tunnel* virtually all     protocols it supports through an HTTP proxy. HTTP proxies can (and often do) deny such tunnel operations.
    When getting denied to tunnel the specific protocols SMB or TELNET, curl would use a heap-allocated struct     after it had been freed, in its transfer shutdown code path. (CVE-2022-43552)

  - An allocation of resources without limits or throttling vulnerability exists in curl <v7.88.0 based on the     chained HTTP compression algorithms, meaning that a server response can be compressed multiple times and     potentially with differentalgorithms. The number of acceptable links in this decompression chain     wascapped, but the cap was implemented on a per-header basis allowing a maliciousserver to insert a     virtually unlimited number of compression steps simply byusing many headers. The use of such a     decompression chain could result in a malloc bomb, making curl end up spending enormous amounts of     allocated heap memory, or trying to and returning out of memory errors. (CVE-2023-23916)

  - 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)

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