Ares Fileshare Detection

info Nessus Plugin ID 19386

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a peer-to-peer filesharing application.

Description

Ares Fileshare is installed on the remote host. Ares Fileshare is a P2P application that supports connecting to several P2P networks; eg, Gnutella and OpenFT. As such, it may not be suitable for use in a business environment.

In addition, note that it's not possible for Nessus to determine the installed version of Ares Fileshare and that some versions suffer from remotely exploitable vulnerabilities; eg, Bugtraq 14377.

This product has been discontinued and is no longer supported.

Solution

Remove the program from the remote host.
