I'm happy to announce the release of Nessus 1.2.3. I strongly suggest
anyone using Nessus 1.2.x to upgrade to this version, as it fixes a bug
which, under some circumstances, would make nessus produce incomplete
reports.
Full list of changes :
. changes by Isaac Dawson (idawson at securitymanagementpartners.com)
- New html output layout.
. changes by Pasi Eronen (pasi.eronen at nixu.com)
- fix in nmap_wrapper
. changes by Renaud Deraison (deraison at cvs.nessus.org)
- Fixed a bug which could make, under some circumstances, make nessusd
crash the host it is running on.
- If the option log_whole_attack is set to "no", then only the begining
and the end of the attack is logged (and not the time each plugin takes)
- Improved no404.nasl to further reduce false positives
- Bug fix in nessusd - under some rare circumstances, report data could
be lost (if many many plugins were enabled at the same time and were
sending data at the same time).
- UDP packets are resent while we wait for a reply (avoids to loose packets
en route)
- Fixed the option "auto_enable_dependencies" which would not always work
- Sending a SIGTERM to the nessus client during a command line scan
