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 44b3048b-685e-11f0-a12d-b42e991fc52e advisory.

 [email protected] reports:
 Insufficient escaping in the Copy as cURL feature could potentially be used to trick a user into executing unexpected code.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
