RHEL 8 : curl (RHSA-2024:0428)

high Nessus Plugin ID 189567

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for curl.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0428 advisory.

The curl packages provide the libcurl library and the curl utility for downloading files from servers using various protocols, including HTTP, FTP, and LDAP.

Security Fix(es):

* curl: FTP too eager connection reuse (CVE-2023-27535)

* curl: GSS delegation too eager connection re-use (CVE-2023-27536)

* curl: information disclosure by exploiting a mixed case flaw (CVE-2023-46218)

* curl: Incorrect handling of control code characters in cookies (CVE-2022-35252)

* curl: Use-after-free triggered by an HTTP proxy deny response (CVE-2022-43552)

* curl: more POST-after-PUT confusion (CVE-2023-28322)

Bug Fix(es):

* Cannot upload files bigger than 64K to SSH-2.0-9.99 sshlib server, transfer hangs (RHEL-5483)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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

Update the RHEL curl package based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:0428.
