The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5587 advisory.

    Two security issues were discovered in Curl: Cookies were incorrectly validated against the public suffix     list of domains and in some cases HSTS data could fail to save to disk. For the oldstable distribution     (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u11. For the stable distribution     (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 7.88.1-10+deb12u5. We recommend that you upgrade     your curl packages. For the detailed security status of curl please refer to its security tracker page at:

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.
