The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2773 advisory.
A user can tell curl >= 7.20.0 and <= 7.78.0 to require a successful upgrade to TLS when speaking to an IMAP, POP3 or FTP server (--ssl-reqd
on the command line orCURLOPT_USE_SSL
set to CURLUSESSL_CONTROL
or CURLUSESSL_ALL
withlibcurl). This requirement could be bypassed if the server would return a properly crafted but perfectly legitimate response.This flaw would then make curl silently continue its operations
withoutTLS contrary to the instructions and expectations, exposing possibly sensitive data in clear text over the network. (CVE-2021-22946)
When curl >= 7.20.0 and <= 7.78.0 connects to an IMAP or POP3 server to retrieve data using STARTTLS to upgrade to TLS security, the server can respond and send back multiple responses at once that curl caches.
curl would then upgrade to TLS but not flush the in-queue of cached responses but instead continue using and trustingthe responses it got before the TLS handshake as if they were authenticated.Using this flaw, it allows a Man-In-The-Middle attacker to first inject the fake responses, then pass-through the TLS traffic from the legitimate server and trick curl into sending data back to the user thinking the attacker’s injected data comes from the TLS-protected server. (CVE-2021-22947)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
