"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 c0acdbac-a524-11f1-8039-589cfc103809 advisory.

    Trifecta Tech Foundation reports:
    Users that are explicitly permitted to edit only specific
                  files using sudoedit, are still able to place files in
                  arbitrary directories.
    This only affects systems where sudoedit is used to give
                  very fine-grained edit permissions, which is not the default
                  configuration. For users that have full sudoedit permission
                  or no sudoedit permission at all, no escalation is enabled by
                  this bug.
    A user that is allowed to place files in an arbitrary
                  directory can (by placing a file in /etc/sudoers.d) obviously
                  fully escalate their privileges.

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.");
