high Nessus Plugin ID 66918

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The Apache Software Foundation reports :

A heap overflow exists in the processing of the PrefixList attribute optionally used in conjunction with Exclusive Canonicalization, potentially allowing arbitary code execution. If verification of the signature occurs prior to actual evaluation of a signing key, this could be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker.

Solution

Update the affected package.
