It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-1924 advisory.

  • libcurl provides the CURLOPT_CERTINFO option to allow applications torequest details to be returned about a server’s certificate chain.Due to an erroneous function, a malicious server could make libcurl built withNSS get stuck in a never-ending busy-loop when trying to retrieve thatinformation.
    (CVE-2022-27781)

  • A vulnerability exists in curl <7.87.0 HSTS check that could be bypassed to trick it to keep using HTTP.
    Using its HSTS support, curl can be instructed to use HTTPS instead of using an insecure clear-text HTTP step even when HTTP is provided in the URL. However, the HSTS mechanism could be bypassed if the host name in the given URL first uses IDN characters that get replaced to ASCII counterparts as part of the IDN conversion. Like using the character UTF-8 U+3002 (IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP) instead of the common ASCII full stop (U+002E) .. Then in a subsequent request, it does not detect the HSTS state and makes a clear text transfer. Because it would store the info IDN encoded but look for it IDN decoded. (CVE-2022-43551)

  • A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs due to an erroneous function. A malicious server could make curl within Network Security Services (NSS) get stuck in a never-ending busy loop when trying to retrieve that information. This flaw allows an Infinite Loop, affecting system availability.
    (CVE-2022-27781) (CVE-2022-43552)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
