"The remote curl install is affected by a heap buffer overflow flaw.");

"The version of libcurl installed on the remote host is affected by a heap based buffer overflow in the SOCKS5 proxy
handshake. 

When curl is asked to pass along the hostname to the SOCKS5 proxy to allow that to resolve the address instead of it
getting done by curl itself, the maximum length that hostname can be is 255 bytes.

If the hostname is detected to be longer than 255 bytes, curl switches to local name resolving and instead passes on
the resolved address only to the proxy. Due to a bug, the local variable that means 'let the host resolve the name'
could get the wrong value during a slow SOCKS5 handshake, and contrary to the intention, copy the too long hostname to
the target buffer instead of copying just the resolved address there.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
