Synopsis

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

Description

A number of AMD virtualization instructions operate on host physical addresses, are not subject to nested page table translation, and guest use of these instructions was not trapped. Impact : From kernel mode a malicious guest can write to arbitrary host memory (with some constraints), affording the guest full control of the host.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
