FreeBSD : metasploit -- multiple vulnerabilities (4488c0db-d45b-11f1-bae2-3497f65b111b)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 374538

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 4488c0db-d45b-11f1-bae2-3497f65b111b advisory.

 Rapid7 published security advisories for issues fixed in releases 6.5.2 through 6.5.7. The credential endpoint of the msf-ws REST API is reachable without authentication, authentication in the JSON-RPC service is skipped when the database health check fails, a post module writes files outside the loot directory through a crafted path, and requests follow HTTP redirects and FTP PASV responses to arbitrary hosts.

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.
