high Nessus Plugin ID 325257

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 d7939352-788b-11f1-b72c-8447094a420f advisory.

The Weechat project reports:
Pre-auth memory leak in relay-api POST /api/handshake (unfreed JSON body) unauthenticated remote memory-exhaustion DoS.

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.
