| Detailed Description |
The remote system does not apply USN-4129-1 which is curl security update. The system which does not apply the update is affected by the following vulnerabilities:
- curl incorrectly handled memory when using Kerberos over FTP. A remote attacker could use this issue to crash curl, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-5481)
- curl incorrectly handled memory during TFTP transfers. A remote attacker could use this issue to crash curl, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-5482)
Note: This check solely relied on the curl DPKG version of the remote system to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
