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 1fae5869-9275-11f1-83e9-901b0e13f1a0 advisory.

Zhixi Jace Sun, independent security researcher reports:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.
