Synopsis

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

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 5048ed45-b0f1-11ed-ab04-9106b1b896dd advisory.

- The Gitea team reports: This PR refactors and improves the password hashing code within gitea and makes it possible for server administrators to set the password hashing parameters. In addition it takes the opportunity to adjust the settings for pbkdf2 in order to make the hashing a little stronger. Add command to bulk set must-change-password As part of administration sometimes it is appropriate to forcibly tell users to update their passwords. This PR creates a new command gitea admin user must-change-password which will set the MustChangePassword flag on the provided users. (5048ed45-b0f1-11ed-ab04-9106b1b896dd)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
