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 9548d6ed-b1da-11ed-b0f4-002590f2a714 advisory.
$GIT_DIR/objects
directory contains symbolic links, the objects
directory itself may still be a symbolic link. These two may be combined to include arbitrary files based on known paths on the victim’s filesystem within the malicious repository’s working copy, allowing for data exfiltration in a similar manner as CVE-2022-39253. A fix has been prepared and will appear in v2.39.2 v2.38.4 v2.37.6 v2.36.5 v2.35.7 v2.34.7 v2.33.7 v2.32.6, v2.31.7 and v2.30.8. If upgrading is impractical, two short-term workarounds are available. Avoid cloning repositories from untrusted sources with --recurse-submodules
.git submodule update
at each layer. Before doing so, inspect each new .gitmodules
file to ensure that it does not contain suspicious module URLs. (CVE-2023-22490)Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"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 9548d6ed-b1da-11ed-b0f4-002590f2a714 advisory.
- Git is a revision control system. Using a specially-crafted repository, Git prior to versions 2.39.2,
2.38.4, 2.37.6, 2.36.5, 2.35.7, 2.34.7, 2.33.7, 2.32.6, 2.31.7, and 2.30.8 can be tricked into using its
local clone optimization even when using a non-local transport. Though Git will abort local clones whose
source `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory contains symbolic links, the `objects` directory itself may still be a
symbolic link. These two may be combined to include arbitrary files based on known paths on the victim's
filesystem within the malicious repository's working copy, allowing for data exfiltration in a similar
manner as CVE-2022-39253. A fix has been prepared and will appear in v2.39.2 v2.38.4 v2.37.6 v2.36.5
v2.35.7 v2.34.7 v2.33.7 v2.32.6, v2.31.7 and v2.30.8. If upgrading is impractical, two short-term
workarounds are available. Avoid cloning repositories from untrusted sources with `--recurse-submodules`.
Instead, consider cloning repositories without recursively cloning their submodules, and instead run `git
submodule update` at each layer. Before doing so, inspect each new `.gitmodules` file to ensure that it
does not contain suspicious module URLs. (CVE-2023-22490)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
