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 479df73e-2838-11ef-9cab-4ccc6adda413 advisory.

David Edmundson reports:
KSmserver, KDE's XSMP manager, incorrectly allows connections via ICE                 based purely on the host, allowing all local connections. This allows                 another user on the same machine to gain access to the session                 manager.
A well crafted client could use the session restore feature to execute                 arbitrary code as the user on the next boot.

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.
