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 3749073b-c8f9-11f1-9ceb-4c526214c986 advisory.

    The Erlang/OTP project reports:
    OTP 29.1.2, 28.5.0.8 and 27.3.4.19 fix the following               issues, three of which complete earlier incomplete               fixes:

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.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input vulnerability in Erlang/OTP snmp allows a remote     attacker to degrade availability by sending an SNMP message containing a BER INTEGER whose length field is     arbitrarily large. snmp_pdus:dec_integer_notag/1 defaults its size limit to infinity, and     do_dec_integer_notag/2 then accumulates the value across every declared byte with a recursive shift and     bitwise or. Work grows superlinearly in the declared length because each operation acts on a progressively     larger bignum. The size-limited variant dec_integer_notag/2 exists but is reached from only one call site,     dec_snmp_version/1, which bounds the version field to ten bytes; the request identifier, error status and     index, generic and specific trap fields, engine boots and time, and every varbind value decoded by     dec_value/1 all use the unbounded form. The decode runs before the PDU is processed, so no valid request     is required beyond what the deployment demands to accept the message at all. This issue affects OTP from     OTP 17.0 before OTP 27.3.4.17, from OTP 28.0 before OTP 28.5.0.6, and from OTP 29.0 before OTP 29.0.6,     corresponding to snmp from 4.25.1 before 5.18.2.1, from 5.19 before 5.20.2.2, and from 5.20.3 before     5.20.5. Whether OTP before OTP 17.0, corresponding to snmp before 4.25.1, is affected is unknown.

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Erlang/OTP, a programming     language and runtime environment. These issues could result in denial of     service, HTTP request smuggling, or bypass of authentication and access     restrictions, including TLS server impersonation.

    The affected components include the HTTP client and server, SSH, TLS,     ASN.1 decoding, the network driver, and URI, LDAP and SNMP parsing. The     update tightens protocol validation and HTTP/SSH resource limits.
    Applications relying on previously permissive behavior may need     adjustment.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1:27.3.4.1+dfsg-1+deb13u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your erlang packages.
