FreeBSD : FreeBSD -- Network ACL mishandling in mountd(8) (87261557-a450-11e2-9898-001060e06fd4)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 65969

Synopsis

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

Description

While parsing the exports(5) table, a network mask in the form of '-network=netname/prefixlength' results in an incorrect network mask being computed if the prefix length is not a multiple of 8.

For example, specifying the ACL for an export as '-network 192.0.2.0/23' would result in a netmask of 255.255.127.0 being used instead of the correct netmask of 255.255.254.0.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
