It was discovered that there were three vulnerabilities in the curl command-line HTTP (etc.) client :

  • CVE-2018-16890: A heap buffer out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the handling of NTLM type-2 messages.

  • CVE-2019-3822: Stack-based buffer overflow in the handling of outgoing NTLM type-3 headers.

  • CVE-2019-3823: Heap out-of-bounds read in code handling the end of a response in the SMTP protocol.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this issue has been fixed in curl version 7.38.0-4+deb8u14.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
