Amazon Linux 2023 : curl, curl-minimal, libcurl (ALAS2023-2024-581)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 192885

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-581 advisory.

 A flaw was found in Curl, where it inadvertently kept the SSL session ID for connections in its cache even when the verify status, OCSP stapling test, failed. A subsequent transfer to the same hostname could succeed if the session ID cache were still fresh, which then skips the verify status check.
 (CVE-2024-0853)

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

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update curl --releasever 2023.4.20240401' to update your system.
