high Nessus Plugin ID 270335

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 50fd6a75-0587-4987-bef2-bb933cd78ea1 advisory.

 Tim Wojtulewicz of Corelight reports:
 The KRB analyzer can leak information about hosts in analyzed traffic via external DNS lookups.

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.
