    descriptionThe remote Mac OS X host is running a version of FortiOS prior to 5.6.11 or 6.0.x prior to 6.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by a heap buffer overflow condition in the SSL VPN web portal due to improper handling of javascript href data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specifically crafted proxy-ed webpage, to cause a denial of service condition.
