"The version of libcurl installed on the remote host is 7.44.0 prior to 8.22.0. It is, therefore, affected by
a use-after-free vulnerability:

  - A flaw in libcurl's handling of HTTP/2 Server Push streams, when the parent handle is set to share
    connections with other handles, can lead to use-after-free in the cleanup process. (CVE-2026-18924)

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