FreeBSD : keycloak -- Missing server identity checks when sending mails via SMTPS (fd538d14-5778-4764-b321-2ddd61a8a58f)

high Nessus Plugin ID 210008

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 fd538d14-5778-4764-b321-2ddd61a8a58f advisory.

Red Hat reports:
A vulnerability was found in Apache Sling Commons Messaging Mail(angus-mail), which provides a simple interface for sending emails via SMTPS in OSGi, does not offer an option to enable server identity checks, leaving connections vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and can allow insecure email communication.

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.
