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 d35373ae-4d34-11ee-8e38-002590c1f29c advisory.

  • In pf packet processing with a ‘scrub fragment reassemble’ rule, a packet containing multiple IPv6 fragment headers would be reassembled, and then immediately processed. That is, a packet with multiple fragment extension headers would not be recognized as the correct ultimate payload. Instead a packet with multiple IPv6 fragment headers would unexpectedly be interpreted as a fragmented packet, rather than as whatever the real payload is. As a result, IPv6 fragments may bypass pf firewall rules written on the assumption all fragments have been reassembled and, as a result, be forwarded or processed by the host.
    (CVE-2023-4809)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
