Tenable Announces the Release of Nessus 2.2.9
October 30, 2006 · Columbia, MD
Tenable Network Security, Inc. is proud to announce the availability of Nessus 2.2.9. This release of the GPL version of Nessus contains the following bug fixes:
Nessus Daemon ('nessusd'):
- Fixed a bug in the PCAP handler which in turn should fix synscan.nes (thanks to Marcel)
- Fixed a banner encoding problem in nessus_tcp_scanner and find_service
- Fixed a possible deadlock in synscan
- Avoid a deadlock in the main process when waiting for a sub process to die
- nessus_tcp_scanner works much better when used over a slow network link
- nessus_tcp_scanner now offers some options accessible thru the GUI
- Fixed a bug in ssh_func.inc which would prevent it from working against HP/UX (and in general which would break a communication where messages pop up on stderr in the middle of receiving data on stdout)
Nessus Client ('nessus'):
- Fixed a possible memory corruption issue when creating a list of plugins to launch
- Fixed a corruption of the .nessusrc files when receiving some plugin prefs ending by a space
All Nessus 2.x users are encouraged to upgrade to this release.
