CentOS 9 : curl-7.76.1-31.el9

high Nessus Plugin ID 206292

Language:

Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for curl.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the curl-7.76.1-31.el9 build changelog.

 - When an application tells libcurl it wants to allow HTTP/2 server push, and the amount of received headers for the push surpasses the maximum allowed limit (1000), libcurl aborts the server push. When aborting, libcurl inadvertently does not free all the previously allocated headers and instead leaks the memory.
 Further, this error condition fails silently and is therefore not easily detected by an application.
 (CVE-2024-2398)

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

Solution

Update the CentOS 9 Stream curl package.
