Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Wietse Venema has discovered a software flaw that allows an attacker to inject client commands into an SMTP session during the unprotected plaintext SMTP protocol phase, such that the server will execute those commands during the SMTP- over-TLS protocol phase when all communication is supposed to be protected.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
