"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0354 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-38546:
    This flaw allows an attacker to insert cookies at will into a running program
    using libcurl, if the specific series of conditions are met.

    libcurl performs transfers. In its API, an application creates easy handles
    that are the individual handles for single transfers.

    libcurl provides a function call that duplicates en easy handle called
    [curl_easy_duphandle](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_duphandle.html).

    If a transfer has cookies enabled when the handle is duplicated, the
    cookie-enable state is also cloned - but without cloning the actual
    cookies. If the source handle did not read any cookies from a specific file on
    disk, the cloned version of the handle would instead store the file name as
    `none` (using the four ASCII letters, no quotes).

    Subsequent use of the cloned handle that does not explicitly set a source to
    load cookies from would then inadvertently load cookies from a file named
    `none` - if such a file exists and is readable in the current directory of the
    program using libcurl. And if using the correct file format of course.


    CVE-2023-38545:
    This flaw makes curl overflow a heap based buffer in the SOCKS5 proxy
    handshake.

    When curl is asked to pass along the host name to the SOCKS5 proxy to allow
    that to resolve the address instead of it getting done by curl itself, the
    maximum length that host name can be is 255 bytes.

    If the host name is detected to be longer, curl switches to local name
    resolving and instead passes on the resolved address only. Due to this bug,
    the local variable that means let the host resolve the name could get the
    wrong value during a slow SOCKS5 handshake, and contrary to the intention,
    copy the too long host name to the target buffer instead of copying just the
    resolved address there.

    The target buffer being a heap based buffer, and the host name coming from the
    URL that curl has been told to operate with.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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