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 3c02dcfd-47d7-11f1-99fb-3497f65b111b advisory.

ModSecurity is an open source web application firewall engine.

According to the upstream changelog, multiple vulnerabilities have been fixed.

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

Solution
