"The version of libcurl installed on the remote host is 8.18.0 prior to 8.21.0. It is, therefore, affected by
a denial of service vulnerability:

  - An issue in curl's QUIC UDP receive function allows a malicious HTTP/3 server to trigger a remote denial
    of service against a curl or libcurl client. Because the helper function discards zero-length UDP
    datagrams before counting them toward the per-call packet budget, a connected QUIC peer can continuously
    stream empty datagrams to indefinitely stall the client. (CVE-2026-11352)

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