The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the f661184a-eb90-11ee-92fc-1c697a616631 advisory.

  • In Emacs before 29.3, arbitrary Lisp code is evaluated as part of turning on Org mode. This affects Org Mode before 9.6.23. (CVE-2024-30202)

  • In Emacs before 29.3, Gnus treats inline MIME contents as trusted. (CVE-2024-30203)

  • In Emacs before 29.3, LaTeX preview is enabled by default for e-mail attachments. (CVE-2024-30204)

  • In Emacs before 29.3, Org mode considers contents of remote files to be trusted. This affects Org Mode before 9.6.23. (CVE-2024-30205)

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