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 d5026193-6fa2-11ef-99bc-1c697a616631 advisory.

Intel reports:

A potential security vulnerability in the Running Average Power Limit (RAPL) interface for some Intel Processors may allow information disclosure. Intel has released firmware updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.

A potential security vulnerability in some Intel Processors may allow denial of service. Intel has released firmware updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.

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.
