"The CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS-STREAM8:CLSA-2026:1776847322 advisory.

  - libcurl provides the `CURLOPT_CERTINFO` option to allow applications torequest details to be returned
    about a server'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)

  - A vulnerability in input validation exists in curl <8.0 during communication using the TELNET protocol may
    allow an attacker to pass on maliciously crafted user name and telnet options during server negotiation.
    The lack of proper input scrubbing allows an attacker to send content or perform option negotiation
    without the application's intent. This vulnerability could be exploited if an application allows user
    input, thereby enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code on the system. (CVE-2023-27533)

  - A path traversal vulnerability exists in curl <8.0.0 SFTP implementation causes the tilde (~) character to
    be wrongly replaced when used as a prefix in the first path element, in addition to its intended use as
    the first element to indicate a path relative to the user's home directory. Attackers can exploit this
    flaw to bypass filtering or execute arbitrary code by crafting a path like /~2/foo while accessing a
    server with a specific user. (CVE-2023-27534)

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