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 6cf326a2-b38c-11f1-a655-3497f65b111b advisory.The njs development team reports:
Access control bypass in js_access when an asynchronous request body continuation threw an exception or produced an unhandled rejection (CVE-2026-18329). Previously, nginx could continue processing the request as though the js_access check had succeeded. Affects 0.9.9-1.0.0.
Worker process crash when reading Response.statusText after an upstream server returned a status line with an empty reason phrase (CVE-2026-78222). Affects 0.5.1-1.0.0.
Heap buffer overflow while parsing namespace prefix lists passed to xml.exclusiveC14n() (CVE-2026-78689). Affects 0.7.10-1.0.0.
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.
