According to the versions of the curl packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  • An allocation of resources without limits or throttling vulnerability exists in curl <v7.88.0 based on the โ€˜chainedโ€™ HTTP compression algorithms, meaning that a server response can be compressed multiple times and potentially with differentalgorithms. The number of acceptable โ€˜linksโ€™ in this โ€˜decompression chainโ€™ 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 โ€˜malloc bombโ€™, making curl end up spending enormous amounts of allocated heap memory, or trying to and returning out of memory errors. (CVE-2023-23916)

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