high Nessus Plugin ID 277324

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 4b297f5a-cbad-11f0-ac9f-b42e991fc52e advisory.

https://github.com/pnggroup/libpng/security/advisories/GHSA-7wv6-48j4-hj3g reports:
LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable Network Graphics) raster image files.

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

Update the affected packages.
