Debian DSA-5197-1 : curl - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 163681

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5197 advisory.

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered in cURL, an URL transfer library. These flaws may allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, leak authentication or cookie header data or facilitate a denial of service attack. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u2. We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages. For the detailed security status of curl please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/curl

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

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

Solution

Upgrade the curl packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u2.
