DLA-2773-1 curl -- LTS security update

Date Reported:

30 Sep 2021

Affected Packages:

curl

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2021-22946, CVE-2021-22947.

More information:

Two issues have been found in curl, a command line tool and an easy-to-use client-side library for transferring data with URL syntax.

• CVE-2021-22946

  Crafted answers from a server might force clients to not use TLS on connections though TLS was required and expected.

• CVE-2021-22947

  When using STARTTLS to initiate a TLS connection, the server might send multiple answers before the TLS upgrade and such the client would handle them as being trusted. This could be used by a MITM-attacker to inject fake response data.

  For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 7.52.1-5+deb9u16.

  We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
