How to fix?

Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2018.03 curl to version 0:7.61.1-12.101.amzn1 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS-2022-1646.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2018.03 relevant fixed versions and status.

When curl < 7.84.0 does FTP transfers secured by krb5, it handles message verification failures wrongly. This flaw makes it possible for a Man-In-The-Middle attack to go unnoticed and even allows it to inject data to the client.
