USN-6718-3: curl vulnerabilities
First published: Mon Apr 29 2024(Updated: )
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)
