high Nessus Plugin ID 242028

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 342f2a0a-5e9b-11f0-8baa-8447094a420f advisory.

 The Apache httpd project reports:
 moderate: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP response splitting (CVE-2024-42516) low: Apache HTTP Server: SSRF with mod_headers setting Content-Type header (CVE-2024-43204) moderate: Apache HTTP Server: SSRF on Windows due to UNC paths (CVE-2024-43394) low: Apache HTTP Server: mod_ssl error log variable escaping (CVE-2024-47252) moderate: Apache HTTP Server: mod_ssl access control bypass with session resumption (CVE-2025-23048) low: Apache HTTP Server: mod_proxy_http2 denial of service (CVE-2025-49630) moderate: Apache HTTP Server: mod_ssl TLS upgrade attack (CVE-2025-49812) moderate: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP/2 DoS by Memory Increase (CVE-2025-53020)

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
