The version of curl installed on the remote host is prior to 7.83.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2022-131-01 advisory.

  • libcurl would reuse a previously created connection even when a TLS or SSHrelated option had been changed that should have prohibited reuse.libcurl keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequenttransfers to reuse if one of them matches the setup. However, several TLS andSSH settings were left out from the configuration match checks, making themmatch too easily. (CVE-2022-27782)

  • A use of incorrectly resolved name vulnerability fixed in 7.83.1 might remove the wrong file when --no- clobber is used together with --remove-on-error. (CVE-2022-27778)

  • libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for Top Level Domains (TLDs) if thehost name is provided with a trailing dot.curl can be told to receive and send cookies. curlโ€™s cookie engine can bebuilt with or without Public Suffix Listawareness. If PSL support not provided, a more rudimentary check exists to atleast prevent cookies from being set on TLDs. This check was broken if thehost name in the URL uses a trailing dot.This can allow arbitrary sites to set cookies that then would get sent to adifferent and unrelated site or domain. (CVE-2022-27779)

  • The curl URL parser wrongly accepts percent-encoded URL separators like '/'when decoding the host name part of a URL, making it a different URL usingthe wrong host name when it is later retrieved.For example, a URL like http://example.com%2F127.0.0.1/, would be allowed bythe parser and get transposed into http://example.com/127.0.0.1/. This flawcan be used to circumvent filters, checks and more.
    (CVE-2022-27780)

  • libcurl provides the CURLOPT_CERTINFO option to allow applications torequest details to be returned about a serverโ€™s certificate chain.Due to an erroneous function, a malicious server could make libcurl built withNSS get stuck in a never-ending busy-loop when trying to retrieve thatinformation.
    (CVE-2022-27781)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
