The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:08.kmem.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
In many parts of the FreeBSD kernel, names (of mount points, devices,
files, etc.) are manipulated as NULL-terminated strings, but are provided
to applications within fixed-length buffers.

In several places, variable-length strings were copied into fixed-length
buffers without zeroing the unused portion of the buffer.

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