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 6e8b9c75-6179-11ef-8a7d-b42e991fc52e advisory.

 [email protected] reports:
 MCPP 2.7.2 has a heap-based buffer overflow in the do_msg() function in support.c.

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.
