The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2021-4511 advisory.

  • curl 7.1.1 to and including 7.75.0 is vulnerable to an Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor by leaking credentials in the HTTP Referer: header. libcurl does not strip off user credentials from the URL when automatically populating the Referer: HTTP request header field in outgoing HTTP requests, and therefore risks leaking sensitive data to the server that is the target of the second HTTP request. (CVE-2021-22876)

  • curl 7.7 through 7.76.1 suffers from an information disclosure when the -t command line option, known as CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS in libcurl, is used to send variable=content pairs to TELNET servers. Due to a flaw in the option parser for sending NEW_ENV variables, libcurl could be made to pass on uninitialized data from a stack based buffer to the server, resulting in potentially revealing sensitive internal information to the server using a clear-text network protocol. (CVE-2021-22898)

  • curl supports the -t command line option, known as CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONSin libcurl. This rarely used option is used to send variable=content pairs toTELNET servers.Due to flaw in the option parser for sending NEW_ENV variables, libcurlcould be made to pass on uninitialized data from a stack based buffer to theserver. Therefore potentially revealing sensitive internal information to theserver using a clear- text network protocol.This could happen because curl did not call and use sscanf() correctly whenparsing the string provided by the application. (CVE-2021-22925)

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