"curl before 7.86.0 has a double free. If curl is told to use an HTTP
proxy for a transfer with a non-HTTP(S) URL, it sets up the connection
to the remote server by issuing a CONNECT request to the proxy, and
then tunnels the rest of the protocol through. An HTTP proxy might
refuse this request (HTTP proxies often only allow outgoing
connections to specific port numbers, like 443 for HTTPS) and instead
return a non-200 status code to the client. Due to flaws in the
error/cleanup handling, this could trigger a double free in curl if
one of the following schemes were used in the URL for the transfer:
dict, gopher, gophers, ldap, ldaps, rtmp, rtmps, or telnet. The
earliest affected version is 7.77.0.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
