"The CentOS Linux 8.4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS8.4:CLSA-2026:1789899321 advisory.
- A flaw in libcurl's handling of HTTP/2 Server Push streams, when the parent handle is set to share
connections with other handles, can lead to use-after-free in the cleanup process. (CVE-2026-18924)
- When `CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY` is configured alongside options that disable standard peer verification
(`CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER = 0` and `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST = 0`), libcurl fails to enforce public key
pinning on connections established without a presented server certificate. Bypassing the pinning check
under these disabled-verification conditions allows unauthenticated connections to succeed when they
should be rejected. (CVE-2026-80230)
- When libpsl support is enabled, libcurl fails to enforce the Public Suffix List boundary check when
processing a `Set-Cookie` header where the `Domain` attribute explicitly matches an origin host that is
itself a public suffix (e.g., `Domain=co.uk` set by `co.uk`). Instead of coercing it into a strict host-
only cookie, libcurl saves the cookie with wildcard domain scope (`.co.uk`). Consequently, the cookie is
inappropriately included in subsequent outbound requests or HTTP redirects to arbitrary sibling subdomains
under the same public suffix (e.g., `attacker.co.uk`). (CVE-2026-82209)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
