- curl: HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP client and client libraries

Details:

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)
