FreeBSD : element-web -- several vulnerabilities (ab4e6f65-a142-11ef-84e9-901b0e9408dc)

low Nessus Plugin ID 210920

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 ab4e6f65-a142-11ef-84e9-901b0e9408dc advisory.

Element team reports:
Versions of Element Web and Desktop earlier than 1.11.85 do not check if thumbnails for attachments, stickers and images are coherent. It is possible to add thumbnails to events trigger a file download once clicked.
A malicious homeserver can send invalid messages over federation which can prevent Element Web and Desktop from rendering single messages or the entire room containing them.

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.
