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 d487d4fc-43a8-11ed-8b01-b42e991fc52e advisory.
zycore
in order to append untrusted user data to the formatter buffer within their custom formatter hooks can run into heap buffer overflows. Older versions of Zydis failed to properly initialize the string object within the formatter buffer, forgetting to initialize a few fields, leaving their value to chance. This could then in turn cause zycore functions like ZyanStringAppend
to make incorrect calculations for the new target size, resulting in heap memory corruption. This does not affect the regular uncustomized Zydis formatter, because Zydis internally doesn’t use the string functions in zycore that act upon these fields. However, because the zycore string functions are the intended way to work with the formatter buffer for users of the library that wish to extend the formatter, we still consider this to be a vulnerability in Zydis. This bug is patched starting in version 3.2.1. As a workaround, users may refrain from using zycore string functions in their formatter hooks until updating to a patched version. (CVE-2021-41253)Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- Zydis is an x86/x86-64 disassembler library. Users of Zydis versions v3.2.0 and older that use the string
functions provided in `zycore` in order to append untrusted user data to the formatter buffer within their
custom formatter hooks can run into heap buffer overflows. Older versions of Zydis failed to properly
initialize the string object within the formatter buffer, forgetting to initialize a few fields, leaving
their value to chance. This could then in turn cause zycore functions like `ZyanStringAppend` to make
incorrect calculations for the new target size, resulting in heap memory corruption. This does not affect
the regular uncustomized Zydis formatter, because Zydis internally doesn't use the string functions in
zycore that act upon these fields. However, because the zycore string functions are the intended way to
work with the formatter buffer for users of the library that wish to extend the formatter, we still
consider this to be a vulnerability in Zydis. This bug is patched starting in version 3.2.1. As a
workaround, users may refrain from using zycore string functions in their formatter hooks until updating
to a patched version. (CVE-2021-41253)
