+2.2.7 :
+
+. changes by Tenable Network Security :
+
+- nessus-libraries :
+
+ - Fixed a NULL pointer dereferencement in the BPF server
+ - The 'service' functions now only deal with the services file provided
+ with Nessus (instead of using a mix of /etc/services and others)
+
+- libnasl :
+
+ - Fixed off-by-one bugs in insstr() and str_replace() which would sometimes
+ prevent these two functions from properly dealing with the last character of a
+ string
+ - Fixed tcp_ping() which was too aggressive and may therefore sometimes miss
+ a live host
+ - Fixed a bug in send() which would not properly validate the value of the
+ 'length' variable
+ - Now handle arrays of arrays
+ - Fixed open_priv_sock_tcp() which would report a successful connection when
+ timing out
+
+- nessusd :
+
+ - Properly install the file 'nessus-services' in $prefix/var/nessus/
+ - Bigger buffer when receiving preferences from the client (to avoid a possible
+ truncation of the plugin list in the future)
+ - Fixed a bug in the preferences parser which would cause nessusd to die on startup when
+ processing a malformed preference file
+
+- nessus :
+
+ - Fixed an unlikely but potential segmentation fault when viewing the report in the GUI
+ - Erase the credentials from memory after having used them (thanks to Sumiut Siddhart
+ for noticing this)
+
+- plugins :
+
+ - nmap.nasl has been removed from the main distribution (to use nmap from Nessus,
+ read <http://www.nessus.org/u?e56c945b>)
+
+ - Performance improvements to nessus_tcp_scanner
+
+ - Improved the file nessus-services
+
