FreeBSD : FreeBSD -- Xen guests can triger backend Out Of Memory (5d91370b-61fd-11eb-b87a-901b0ef719ab)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 145567

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Some OSes (including Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD) are processing watch events using a single thread. If the events are received faster than the thread is able to handle, they will get queued.

As the queue is unbound, a guest may be able to trigger a OOM in the backend.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
