FreeBSD : FreeBSD -- Certificate revocation list fetch(1) option fails (ce0f52e1-a174-11ef-9a62-002590c1f29c)

high Nessus Plugin ID 210916

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 ce0f52e1-a174-11ef-9a62-002590c1f29c advisory.

 The fetch(3) library uses environment variables for passing certain information, including the revocation file pathname. The environment variable name used by fetch(1) to pass the filename to the library was incorrect, in effect ignoring the option.
 Fetch would still connect to a host presenting a certificate included in the revocation file passed to the --crl option.

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.
