The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab affecting all versions starting from 12.8 before 15.4.6, all     versions starting from 15.5 before 15.5.5, all versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.1. It was possible     to trigger a DoS attack by uploading a malicious nuget package. (CVE-2022-3478)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability, as follows:

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab affecting all versions starting from 12.8 before 15.4.6, all     versions starting from 15.5 before 15.5.5, all versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.1. It was possible     to trigger a DoS attack by uploading a malicious nuget package. (CVE-2022-3478)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 3cde510a-7135-11ed-a28b-bff032704f00 advisory.
