FreeBSD : FreeBSD -- Memory disclosure vulnerability in libalias (78992249-947c-11ea-92ab-00163e433440)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 136536

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The FTP packet handler in libalias incorrectly calculates some packet lengths. This may result in disclosing small amounts of memory from the kernel (for the in-kernel NAT implementation) or from the process space for natd (for the userspace implementation). Impact : A malicious attacker could send specially constructed packets that exploit the erroneous calculation allowing the attacker to disclose small amount of memory either from the kernel (for the in-kernel NAT implementation) or from the process space for natd (for the userspace implementation).

Solution

Update the affected packages.
