openSUSE Security Update : curl (openSUSE-2021-808)

low Nessus Plugin ID 150094

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update for curl fixes the following issues :

 - CVE-2021-22898: Fixed curl TELNET stack contents disclosure (bsc#1186114).

 - Allow partial chain verification [jsc#SLE-17956]

 - Have intermediate certificates in the trust store be treated as trust-anchors, in the same way as self-signed root CA certificates are. This allows users to verify servers using the intermediate cert only, instead of needing the whole chain.

 - Set FLAG_TRUSTED_FIRST unconditionally.

 - Do not check partial chains with CRL check.

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update update project.

Solution

Update the affected curl packages.
