FreeBSD : p5-Dancer2 -- Multiple vulnerabilities (5e6fe0cf-b655-11f1-ad2b-40b034429ecf)

high Nessus Plugin ID 349111

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 5e6fe0cf-b655-11f1-ad2b-40b034429ecf advisory.

Dancer project reports:
Dancer2 versions from 2.0.0 before 2.2.0 for Perl dispatch a route that a dying hook refused when the exception handler halts the response in compile_hooks. A hook that dies fires core.app.
hook_exception, then calls cleanup unless the failing hook is the exception handler. A handler that halts does not stop that cleanup, which discards the request, response and session the dispatcher has yet to read, so the refused route runs. The handler has to halt the response object by calling its halt method or setting is_halted:
the halt keyword unwinds through with_return before cleanup runs.
A check in a before hook is not enforced: the caller gets the refusal, while the route body runs and its writes land.

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.
