"The version of cmake / curl / mysql / rust / tensorflow installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested
version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-23916 advisory.

  - An allocation of resources without limits or throttling vulnerability exists in curl <v7.88.0 based on the
    chained HTTP compression algorithms, meaning that a server response can be compressed multiple times and
    potentially with differentalgorithms. The number of acceptable links in this decompression chain
    wascapped, but the cap was implemented on a per-header basis allowing a maliciousserver to insert a
    virtually unlimited number of compression steps simply byusing many headers. The use of such a
    decompression chain could result in a malloc bomb, making curl end up spending enormous amounts of
    allocated heap memory, or trying to and returning out of memory errors. (CVE-2023-23916)
