Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2018.0110
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2018-0110)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2018-0110 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2018-0110 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was reported that reading an HTTP/2 trailer could mess up future trailers
since the stored size was one byte less than required. When accessed, the data
is read out of bounds and causes either a crash or that the (too large) data
gets passed to the libcurl callback. This might lead to a denial-of-service
situation or an information disclosure if someone has a service that echoes
back or uses the trailers for something (CVE-2018-1000005).

When asked to send custom headers in its HTTP requests, libcurl will send that
set of headers first to the host in the initial URL but also, if asked to
follow redirects and a 30X HTTP response code is returned, to the host
mentioned in URL in the Location: response header value. Sending the same set
of headers to subsequent hosts is in particular a problem for applications
that pass on custom Authorization: headers, as this header often contains
privacy sensitive information or data that could allow others to impersonate
the libcurl-using client's request (CVE-2018-1000008).

Affected Software/OS:
'curl' package(s) on Mageia 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
