CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: curl / mysql (CVE-2023-46218)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 206390

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of curl / mysql installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-46218 advisory.

 - This flaw allows a malicious HTTP server to set super cookies in curl that are then passed back to more origins than what is otherwise allowed or possible. This allows a site to set cookies that then would get sent to different and unrelated sites and domains. It could do this by exploiting a mixed case flaw in curl's function that verifies a given cookie domain against the Public Suffix List (PSL). For example a cookie could be set with `domain=co.UK` when the URL used a lower case hostname `curl.co.uk`, even though `co.uk` is listed as a PSL domain. (CVE-2023-46218)

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 affected packages.
