Hello, I recently scanned a windows 2003 server (SP1) with Nessus and it reported it was vulnerable to the Server Message Block (SMB) implementation flaw as described in MS05-027 and tested for by plugin 18502. On checking with the system adminstrator, he confirmed the system had the patch (896422) described in MS05-027 applied and that the Mircrosoft Baseline security analyser confirmed the system was not vulnerable.
My conclusion - either the patch doesn't resolve the vulnerability (unlikely) or the plugin has reported a false positive for some reason (more likely)? Has anyone else come across this problem? How do we report this to someone to check and fix? Thanks, Brevan Miles Information and Systems Security Co-ordinator, Information Systems Services, The University of Southampton, _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
