high Nessus Plugin ID 201214

Language:

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 f1a00122-3797-11ef-b611-84a93843eb75 advisory.

The OpenSSH project reports:
A race condition in sshd(8) could allow remote code execution as root on non-OpenBSD systems.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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.
