The default configuration for cURL and libcurl before 7.42.1 sends custom HTTP headers to both the proxy and destination server, which might allow remote proxy servers to obtain sensitive information by reading the header contents.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has curl packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The redirect implementation in curl and libcurl 5.11 through 7.19.3, when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is     enabled, accepts arbitrary Location values, which might allow remote HTTP servers to (1) trigger arbitrary     requests to intranet servers, (2) read or overwrite arbitrary files via a redirect to a file: URL, or (3)     execute arbitrary commands via a redirect to an scp: URL. (CVE-2009-0037)

  - The Curl_input_negotiate function in http_negotiate.c in libcurl 7.10.6 through 7.21.6, as used in curl     and other products, always performs credential delegation during GSSAPI authentication, which allows     remote servers to impersonate clients via GSSAPI requests. (CVE-2011-2192)

  - curl and libcurl 7.2x before 7.24.0 do not properly consider special characters during extraction of a     pathname from a URL, which allows remote attackers to conduct data-injection attacks via a crafted URL, as     demonstrated by a CRLF injection attack on the (1) IMAP, (2) POP3, or (3) SMTP protocol. (CVE-2012-0036)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the Curl_sasl_create_digest_md5_message function in lib/curl_sasl.c in curl     and libcurl 7.26.0 through 7.28.1, when negotiating SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication, allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string in     the realm parameter in a (1) POP3, (2) SMTP or (3) IMAP message. (CVE-2013-0249)

  - The tailMatch function in cookie.c in cURL and libcurl before 7.30.0 does not properly match the path     domain when sending cookies, which allows remote attackers to steal cookies via a matching suffix in the     domain of a URL. (CVE-2013-1944)

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

An update of the cmake package has been released.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - curl: NTLM password overflow via integer overflow (CVE-2018-14618)

  - cURL and libcurl 7.10.6 through 7.34.0, when more than one authentication method is enabled, re-uses NTLM     connections, which might allow context-dependent attackers to authenticate as other users via a request.
    (CVE-2014-0015)

  - The default configuration in cURL and libcurl 7.10.6 before 7.36.0 re-uses (1) SCP, (2) SFTP, (3) POP3,     (4) POP3S, (5) IMAP, (6) IMAPS, (7) SMTP, (8) SMTPS, (9) LDAP, and (10) LDAPS connections, which might     allow context-dependent attackers to connect as other users via a request, a similar issue to     CVE-2014-0015. (CVE-2014-0138)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - curl: NTLM password overflow via integer overflow (CVE-2018-14618)

  - The default configuration for cURL and libcurl before 7.42.1 sends custom HTTP headers to both the proxy     and destination server, which might allow remote proxy servers to obtain sensitive information by reading     the header contents. (CVE-2015-3153)

  - The ConnectionExists function in lib/url.c in libcurl before 7.47.0 does not properly re-use NTLM-     authenticated proxy connections, which might allow remote attackers to authenticate as other users via a     request, a similar issue to CVE-2014-0015. (CVE-2016-0755)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - curl: FTP wildcard out of bounds read (CVE-2017-8817)

  - CRLF injection vulnerability in libcurl 6.0 through 7.x before 7.40.0, when using an HTTP proxy, allows     remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via CRLF     sequences in a URL. (CVE-2014-8150)

  - The default configuration for cURL and libcurl before 7.42.1 sends custom HTTP headers to both the proxy     and destination server, which might allow remote proxy servers to obtain sensitive information by reading     the header contents. (CVE-2015-3153)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

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

curl was updated to fix five security issues.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-3143: curl could re-use NTML authenticateds     connections

  - CVE-2015-3144: curl could access memory out of bounds     with zero length host names

  - CVE-2015-3145: curl cookie parser could access memory     out of boundary

  - CVE-2015-3148: curl could treat Negotiate as not     connection-oriented

  - CVE-2015-3153: curl could have sent sensitive HTTP     headers also to proxies

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

The curl tool and libcurl4 library have been updated to fix several security and non-security issues.

The following vulnerabilities have been fixed :

CVE-2015-3143: Re-using authenticated connection when unauthenticated.
(bsc#927556)

CVE-2015-3148: Negotiate not treated as connection-oriented.
(bsc#927746)

CVE-2015-3153: Sensitive HTTP server headers also sent to proxies.
(bsc#928533)

The following non-security issue has been fixed :

git fails to clone from https repository. (bsc#927174)

cURL reports :

libcurl provides applications a way to set custom HTTP headers to be sent to the server by using CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER. A similar option is available for the curl command-line tool with the '--header' option.

When the connection passes through an HTTP proxy the same set of headers is sent to the proxy as well by default. While this is by design, it has not necessarily been clear nor understood by application programmers.

curl was updated to 7.42.1 to fix one security issue.

The following vulnerability was fixed :

  - CVE-2015-3153: curl could have sent sensitive HTTP     headers also to proxies (bnc#928533)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2591-1 advisory.

    Paras Sethia discovered that curl could incorrectly re-use NTLM HTTP credentials when subsequently     connecting to the same host over HTTP. (CVE-2015-3143)

    Hanno Bck discovered that curl incorrectly handled zero-length host names. If a user or automated system     were tricked into using a specially crafted host name, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause     curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-3144)

    Hanno Bck discovered that curl incorrectly handled cookie path elements. If a user or automated system     were tricked into parsing a specially crafted cookie, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause     curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-3145)

    Isaac Boukris discovered that when using Negotiate authenticated connections, curl could incorrectly     authenticate the entire connection and not just specific HTTP requests. (CVE-2015-3148)

    Yehezkel Horowitz and Oren Souroujon discovered that curl sent HTTP headers both to servers and proxies by     default, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-3153)

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

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

It was discovered that cURL, an URL transfer library, if configured to use a proxy server with the HTTPS protocol, by default could send to the proxy the same HTTP headers it sends to the destination server, possibly leaking sensitive information.
