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 2220827b-c732-11ec-b272-901b0e934d69 advisory.

  • Hiredis is a minimalistic C client library for the Redis database. In affected versions Hiredis is vulnurable to integer overflow if provided maliciously crafted or corrupted RESP mult-bulk protocol data. When parsing multi-bulk (array-like) replies, hiredis fails to check if count * sizeof(redisReply*) can be represented in SIZE_MAX. If it can not, and the calloc() call doesn’t itself make this check, it would result in a short allocation and subsequent buffer overflow. Users of hiredis who are unable to update may set the [maxelements](https://github.com/redis/hiredis#reader-max- array-elements) context option to a value small enough that no overflow is possible. (CVE-2021-32765)

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

  - Hiredis is a minimalistic C client library for the Redis database. In affected versions Hiredis is
    vulnurable to integer overflow if provided maliciously crafted or corrupted `RESP` `mult-bulk` protocol
    data. When parsing `multi-bulk` (array-like) replies, hiredis fails to check if `count *
    sizeof(redisReply*)` can be represented in `SIZE_MAX`. If it can not, and the `calloc()` call doesn't
    itself make this check, it would result in a short allocation and subsequent buffer overflow. Users of
    hiredis who are unable to update may set the [maxelements](https://github.com/redis/hiredis#reader-max-
