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 7e9cc7fd-6b3e-46c5-ad6d-409d90d41bbf advisory.

    hadmut reports:
    This C library includes 2 command-line tools that can take                     credentials as command-line options. The credentials are exposed                     as plain-text in the process list. This could allow an attacker                     with access to the process list to see the credentials.
