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 f161a5ad-c9bd-11ee-b7a7-353f1e043d9a advisory.

- Due to a failure in validating the number of scanline samples of a OpenEXR file containing deep scanline data, Academy Software Foundation OpenEX image parsing library version 3.2.1 and prior is susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability. (CVE-2023-5841)

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