Description

The remote host is running a version of FortiOS prior or equal to 6.0.12, 6.2.x prior or equal to 6.2.9, 6.4.x prior or equal to 6.4.5 or 7.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by an integer overflow vulnerability in FortiOS SSLVPN memory allocator may allow an unauthenticated attacker to corrupt control data on the heap via specifically crafted requests to SSLVPN, resulting in potentially arbitrary code execution.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
