Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:07.ldt.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The i386_get_ldt(2) system call allows a process to request that a
portion of its Local Descriptor Table be copied from the kernel into
userland.

The i386_get_ldt(2) syscall performs insufficient validation of its
input arguments. In particular, negative or very large values may
allow inappropriate data to be copied from the kernel.

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