freetype2 – heap buffer overlfow CVE: CVE-2020-15999 For more info see: https://vuxml.FreeBSD.org/freebsd/458df97f-1440-11eb-aaec-e0d55e2a8bf9.html

Note: TrueNAS does not allow a user to upload PNGs to trigger this attack.

libxml2 – Possible denial of service CVE: CVE-2021-3541 For more info see: https://vuxml.FreeBSD.org/freebsd/524bd03a-bb75-11eb-bf35-080027f515ea.html

Note: TrueNAS does not allow a user to inject XML to trigger this attack.

texproc/expat2 – billion laugh attack CVE: CVE-2013-0340 For more info see: https://vuxml.FreeBSD.org/freebsd/5fa90ee6-bc9e-11eb-a287-e0d55e2a8bf9.html

Note: This CVE is caused by expat’s reliance on the libxml vulnerability listed above.

net/rsync – multiple zlib issues CVE: CVE-2016-9840 CVE: CVE-2016-9841 CVE: CVE-2016-9842 CVE: CVE-2016-9843 WWW: https://vuxml.FreeBSD.org/freebsd/085399ab-dfd7-11ea-96e4-80ee73bc7b66.html

Note: These CVEs against rsync are due to its dependence on a vulnerable version of zlib. However, TrueNAS is built against the version of zlib in base and not the version the rysnc port depends on. As such, the zlib vulnerability does not exist or affect any installs of TrueNAS 12.0-U4, even though pkg audit flags the version. This can be confirmed on a Truenas 12.0-U4 box by running pkg info rsync.
