medium Nessus Plugin ID 241643

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 a vulnerability as referenced in the 764204eb-5bc5-11f0-834f-b42e991fc52e advisory.

 [email protected] reports:
 MongoDB Server may be susceptible to disruption caused by high memory usage, potentially leading to server crash. This condition is linked to inefficiencies in memory management related to internal operations. In scenarios where certain internal processes persist longer than anticipated, memory consumption can increase, potentially impacting server stability and availability.

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.
