USN-6535-1: curl vulnerabilities

Severity

Medium

Vendor

Canonical Ubuntu

Description

Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly handled mixed case cookie domains. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to set cookies that get sent to different and unrelated sites and domains. (CVE-2023-46218) Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered that curl incorrectly handled long file names when saving HSTS data. This could result in curl losing HSTS data, and subsequent requests to a site would be done without it, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.04 and Ubuntu 23.10. (CVE-2023-46219) Update Instructions: Run `sudo pro fix USN-6535-1` to fix the vulnerability. The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: libcurl4-gnutls-dev – 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.21 libcurl4-openssl-dev – 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.21 libcurl3-gnutls – 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.21 libcurl4-doc – 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.21 libcurl3-nss – 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.21 libcurl4-nss-dev – 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.21 libcurl4 – 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.21 curl – 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.21 No subscription required
