FreeBSD : uriparser -- Denial of Service through Unbound Recursion (65abbad5-da78-11f0-b6d5-843a4b343614)

low Nessus Plugin ID 374819

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 65abbad5-da78-11f0-b6d5-843a4b343614 advisory.

 The URIparser project reports:
 uriparser through 0.9.9 allows unbounded recursion and stack consumption, as demonstrated by ParseMustBeSegmentNzNc with large input containing many commas.

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.
