high Nessus Plugin ID 333613

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 e87b74fa-940d-11f1-b046-3c7c3fba4204 advisory.

 The Calibre Web Team reports:
 ReDoS in strip_whitespaces() function in cps/string_helper.py in Calibre Web and Autocaliweb allows unauthenticated remote attackers to cause denial of service via specially crafted username parameter that triggers catastrophic backtracking during login.This issue affects Calibre Web: 0.6.24 (Nicolette);
 Autocaliweb: from 0.7.0 before 0.7.1.
 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability in Calibre Web, Autocaliweb allows Blind OS Command Injection.This issue affects Calibre Web: 0.6.24 (Nicolette); Autocaliweb: from 0.7.0 before 0.7.1.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
