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 4a4712ae-7299-11ee-85eb-84a93843eb75 advisory.

 - SO-AND-SO reports: Moderate severity: A bug has been identified in the processing of key and initialisation vector (IV) lengths. This can lead to potential truncation or overruns during the initialisation of some symmetric ciphers. (CVE-2023-5363)
