Synopsis

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

Description

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 a4f8bb03-f52f-11ed-9859-080027083a05 advisory.

- The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when checking the SSH sha256 fingerprint. A remote attacker can use the application to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger a use-after-free error and gain access to potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2023-28319)

- The vulnerability exists due to improper synchronization when resolving host names using the alarm() and siglongjmp() function. A remote attacker can force the application to crash by influencing contents of the global buffer. (CVE-2023-28320)

- The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation when matching wildcards in TLS certificates for IDN names. A remote attacker crate a specially crafted certificate that will be considered trusted by the library. (CVE-2023-28321)

- The vulnerability exists due to a logic error when sending HTTP POST and PUT requests using the same handle. The libcurl can erroneously use the read callback (CURLOPT_READFUNCTION) to ask for data to send, even when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option has been set, if the same handle previously was used to issue a PUT request which used that callback. As a result, the application can misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer. (CVE-2023-28322)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
