critical Nessus Plugin ID 170753

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-5330 advisory.

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Curl, an easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library, which could result in denial of service or information disclosure. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u5. This update also revises the fix for CVE-2022-27774 released in DSA-5197-1. 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+deb11u5.
