Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system

Vulnerability Insight:
FreeBSD's C library (libc) contains code for creating and accessing
Berkeley DB 1.85 database files. Such databases are used extensively
in FreeBSD. For example, the system password files (/etc/passwd and
/etc/master.passwd) are normally accessed via their database files
(/etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db).

Some data structures used by the database interface code are not properly
initialized when allocated.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.
