medium Nessus Plugin ID 206744

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 multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 943f8915-6c5d-11ef-810a-f8b46a88f42c advisory.

 [email protected] reports PR/281070:
 A new version of devel/binutils has been released fixing CVE-2023-1972, CVE-2023-25585, CVE-2023-25586, and CVE-2023-25588.


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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
