FreeBSD : Mozilla -- null pointer dereference (ba6361be-1887-11f0-a8ce-b42e991fc52e)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 234326

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 ba6361be-1887-11f0-a8ce-b42e991fc52e advisory.

 [email protected] reports:
 A null pointer dereference may have inadvertently occurred in `pk12util`, and specifically in the `SEC_ASN1DecodeItem_Util` function, when handling malformed or improperly formatted input files.

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.
