EulerOS 2.0 SP3 : curl (EulerOS-SA-2021-1774)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 149176

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

- The GnuTLS backend in libcurl 7.21.4 through 7.33.0, when disabling digital signature verification (CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER), also disables the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST check for CN or SAN host name fields, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof servers and conduct man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.(CVE-2013-6422)

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.

Solution

Update the affected curl package.
