Renaud,

It pretty sure looks like a FP. The reason being, this customer has two
identical WIN 2K servers running IIS 5 and only one of them is showing
positive results for this plugin. The only difference between these two
servers is the cert authority. One has a Verisign cert and one has a Thawte
cert. The one with the Thawte cert is showing the positive results. The
confusing part is that this server is using native Windows implementation of
SSL and not OpenSSL, so it should not come out positive at all as far as I
think.

Please throw some light on this if I am wrong in understanding this or if
this is reallly a FP. 

Thanks in advance,


Best Regards,
 
Keyur Lavingia

11060 tests for bugtraq id#5363. 12110 tests for bugtraq id#9899.

5363 allows someone to execute arbitrary code using OpenSSL, while
9899 allows someone to disable the service.

11060 does not rely on the banner, it relies on the behavior of the remote
SSL implementation. Are you sure it's a false positive ?
