When asked to both 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 an entry that matches the redirect target hostname but the entry either omits just the password or omits both login and password.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE- SU-2024:4284-2 advisory.

    - CVE-2024-11053: Fixed password leak in curl used for the first host to the followed-to host under     certain circumstances (bsc#1234068)

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

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:4359-1 advisory.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7162-1 advisory.

    Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly handled credentials from .netrc files when following HTTP     redirects. In certain configurations, the password for the first host could be leaked to the followed-to     host, contrary to expectations.
