FreeBSD : devel/ocaml-opam -- CWE-24 Path Traversal: '../filedir' (9b5d6fbb-4893-11f1-82bf-3c7c3fba4204)

high Nessus Plugin ID 312250

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 9b5d6fbb-4893-11f1-82bf-3c7c3fba4204 advisory.

 https://github.com/ocaml/opam/releases/tag/2.5.1 reports:
 In OCaml opam before 2.5.1, a .install field containing a destination filepath can use ../ to reach a parent directory.
 Reported by Andrew Nesbitt <[email protected]>.

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.
