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 58750d49-7302-11ef-8c95-195d300202b3 advisory.

The FreeBSD Project reports:

            A signal handler in sshd(8) may call a logging function that is not async-                 signal-safe. The signal handler is invoked when a client does not                 authenticate within the LoginGraceTime seconds (120 by default).
            This signal handler executes in the context of the sshd(8)'s privileged                 code, which is not sandboxed and runs with full root privileges.

            This issue is another instance of the problem in CVE-2024-6387 addressed by                 FreeBSD-SA-24:04.openssh.  The faulty code in this case is from the                 integration of blacklistd in OpenSSH in FreeBSD.

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.
