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 c71a3914-ba96-11f0-aada-f59a8ea34d12 advisory.

 Cary Phillips reports:

 Patch release that addresses several bugs, primarily involving properly rejecting corrupt input data.


 He goes on to report various relevant items including heap buffer overflows, use-after-free, use of uninitialized memory and other bugs, several of them found by OSS-fuzz, and some also found in OpenJPH.


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.
