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 77dc1fc4-5bc5-11f0-834f-b42e991fc52e advisory.

[email protected] reports:
An unauthorized user may leverage a specially crafted aggregation pipeline to access data without proper authorization due to improper handling of the $mergeCursors stage in MongoDB Server. This may lead to access to data without further authorisation.

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.
