The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6718-3 advisory.

USN-6718-1 fixed vulnerabilities in curl. This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu 24.04     LTS.

Original advisory details:

Dan Fandrich discovered that curl would incorrectly use the default set of

protocols when a parameter option disabled all protocols without adding

any, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10.

(CVE-2024-2004)

It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled memory when limiting the

amount of headers when HTTP/2 server push is allowed. A remote attacker

could possibly use this issue to cause curl to consume resources, leading

to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-2398)

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

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