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 7a8b6170-a889-11ed-bbae-6cc21735f730 advisory.

  • PostgreSQL Project reports: A modified, unauthenticated server can send an unterminated string during the establishment of Kerberos transport encryption. When a libpq client application has a Kerberos credential cache and doesn’t explicitly disable option gssencmode, a server can cause libpq to over-read and report an error message containing uninitialized bytes from and following its receive buffer. If libpq’s caller somehow makes that message accessible to the attacker, this achieves a disclosure of the over-read bytes. We have not confirmed or ruled out viability of attacks that arrange for a crash or for presence of notable, confidential information in disclosed bytes. (CVE-2022-41862)

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