"The version of curl installed on the remote host is prior to 8.4.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2023-284-01 advisory.

  - CVE-2023-38545 is a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the SOCKS5 proxy handshake in libcurl and
    curl.  When curl is given a hostname to pass along to a SOCKS5 proxy that is greater than 255 bytes in
    length, it will switch to local name resolution in order to resolve the address before passing it on to
    the SOCKS5 proxy. However, due to a bug introduced in 2020, this local name resolution could fail due to a
    slow SOCKS5 handshake, causing curl to pass on the hostname greater than 255 bytes in length into the
    target buffer, leading to a heap overflow.  The advisory for CVE-2023-38545 gives an example exploitation
    scenario of a malicious HTTPS server redirecting to a specially crafted URL. While it might seem that an
    attacker would need to influence the slowness of the SOCKS5 handshake, the advisory states that server
    latency is likely slow enough to trigger this bug. (CVE-2023-38545)

  -  Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.    Note that the risk of remote code execution
    is limited to SOCKS usage.  (CVE-2023-38546)

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