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 9cbbc506-93c1-11ee-8e38-002590c1f29c advisory.

  • As part of its stateful TCP connection tracking implementation, pf performs sequence number validation on inbound packets. This makes it difficult for a would-be attacker to spoof the sender and inject packets into a TCP stream, since crafted packets must contain sequence numbers which match the current connection state to avoid being rejected by the firewall. A bug in the implementation of sequence number validation means that the sequence number is not in fact validated, allowing an attacker who is able to impersonate the remote host and guess the connection’s port numbers to inject packets into the TCP stream. An attacker can, with relatively little effort, inject packets into a TCP stream destined to a host behind a pf firewall. This could be used to implement a denial-of-service attack for hosts behind the firewall, for example by sending TCP RST packets to the host. (CVE-2023-6534)

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