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 26f6733d-06a9-11f0-ba0b-641c67a117d8 advisory.

The Varnish Development Team reports:
A client-side desync vulnerability can be triggered in Varnish Cache and Varnish Enterprise. This vulnerability can be triggered under specific circumstances involving malformed HTTP/1 requests.

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.
