FreeBSD : libqb -- Buffer overflow (ecf9a798-9aa9-11ef-a8f0-a8a15998b5cb)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 210360

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 ecf9a798-9aa9-11ef-a8f0-a8a15998b5cb advisory.

 [email protected] reports:
 log_blackbox.c in libqb before 2.0.8 allows a buffer overflow via long log messages because the header size is not considered.

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.
