FreeBSD : anki -- Malicious APKG can lead to arbitrary code execution via iframes (117b053d-d8e3-11f1-985e-901b0edee044)

high Nessus Plugin ID 376995

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 117b053d-d8e3-11f1-985e-901b0edee044 advisory.

Anki developers reports:
On Anki Desktop, a crafted APKG can execute an arbitrary executable after either clicking Show in the import result, opening the imported deck or viewing a note in the editor.

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.
