Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.120492
Category:Amazon Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2014-407)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-407 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-407 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for TLDs, thus making them much broader then they are supposed to be allowed to. This can allow arbitrary sites to set cookies that then would get sent to a different and unrelated site or domain.

By not detecting and rejecting domain names for partial literal IP addresses properly when parsing received HTTP cookies, libcurl can be fooled to both sending cookies to wrong sites and into allowing arbitrary sites to set cookies for others.

Affected Software/OS:
'curl' package(s) on Amazon Linux.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
