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 431c2753-3503-11f1-bc6d-3c7c3fba4204 advisory.

 https://www.dnsdist.org/security-advisories/powerdns-advisory-for-dnsdist-2026-02.html reports:

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
