"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced

Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2023-28322:
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 when doing HTTP(S) transfers, libcurl might
erroneously use the read callback (`CURLOPT_READFUNCTION`) to ask for data to send, even when the
`CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS` option has been set, if the same handle previously wasused to issue a `PUT` request
which used that callback. This flaw may surprise the application and cause it to misbehave and either send
off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer. The problem exists in the
logic for a reused handle when it is (expected to be) changed from a PUT to a POST.
CVE-2023-38546:
This flaw allows an attacker to insert cookies at will into a running program
using libcurl, if the specific series of conditions are met.
libcurl performs transfers. In its API, an application creates easy handles
that are the individual handles for single transfers.
libcurl provides a function call that duplicates en easy handle called
[curl_easy_duphandle](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_duphandle.html).
If a transfer has cookies enabled when the handle is duplicated, the
cookie-enable state is also cloned - but without cloning the actual
cookies. If the source handle did not read any cookies from a specific file on
disk, the cloned version of the handle would instead store the file name as
`none` (using the four ASCII letters, no quotes).
Subsequent use of the cloned handle that does not explicitly set a source to
load cookies from would then inadvertently load cookies from a file named
`none` - if such a file exists and is readable in the current directory of the
program using libcurl. And if using the correct file format of course.
CVE-2023-46218:
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-2024-2398:
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.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud 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.");
