FreeBSD : OpenSSL -- Inverted security logic in x509 app (5baa64d6-37ee-11f0-a116-8447094a420f)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 237210

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 a vulnerability as referenced in the 5baa64d6-37ee-11f0-a116-8447094a420f advisory.

 The OpenSSL project reports:
 The x509 application adds trusted use instead of rejected use (low)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
