high Nessus Plugin ID 241125

Language:

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 24f4b495-56a1-11f0-9621-93abbef07693 advisory.

Todd C. Miller reports, crediting Rich Mirch from Stratascale Cyber Research Unit (CRU):
Sudo 1.9.17p1:

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

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.
