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 ee407762-116c-11f0-8b2c-b42e991fc52e advisory.

 [email protected] reports:
 Assuming a controlled failed memory allocation, an attacker could have caused a use-after-free, leading to a potentially exploitable crash.

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.
