  "details": "Jay Satiro discovered that curl incorrectly handled hostnames when using a\nSOCKS5 proxy. In environments where curl is configured to use a SOCKS5\nproxy, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary\ncode. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 23.04.\n(CVE-2023-38545)\n\nIt was discovered that curl incorrectly handled cookies when an application\nduplicated certain handles. A local attacker could possibly create a cookie\nfile and inject arbitrary cookies into subsequent connections.\n(CVE-2023-38546)\n",
