high Nessus Plugin ID 149973

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Google's oss-fuzz project reports :

Denial-of-Service on CURVE/ZAP-protected servers by unauthenticated clients. If a raw TCP socket is opened and connected to an endpoint that is fully configured with CURVE/ZAP, legitimate clients will not be able to exchange any message. Handshakes complete successfully, and messages are delivered to the library, but the server application never receives them.

Solution

Update the affected package.
