Plugin 31863 (edirectory_http_connection_header_dos.nasl) false positive

Hi all,

We just got an apparent false positive on 31863. Nessus seems to
indiscriminently fire, even though the vulnerability seems to only
affect Windows. The script fired on a Linux server running LDAP Agent
for Novell eDirectory 8.8 SP1

Is there a way to make this only check for Windows servers, or in a
less ideal case, mention that only Windows is affected?
http://www.novell.com/support/viewContent.do?externalId=3829452&sliceId=1
only mentions Windows environments being vulnerable.

Thanks,
Erik

Thanks for pointing this out. I've updated the plugin so only Windows
hosts will be checked. The update should become available in a couple
of hours.
