Greetings,
I'm having a horrible time narrowing down where a difference is. I
have two Nessus servers running the same version and plugins. I'm
scanning an NT 4.0 box, but the Host/OS/SMB key is coming back
different on the two.
On one server it returns Windows 4.0 and on the other it returns
Windows NT 4.0
Since several plugin tests exit on Windows 4.0, I'm getting lots of
"false positive" or "unfixable" reports from people still running
NT 4.0. Does anyone know where in the configuration this string
return would be coming from?
This has been fixed yesterday/today. A plugin update and everything
will be ok.
Now, Nessus won't report vulnerability for the spooler service flaw
(ms05-043) on NT4 even if it is vulnerable (NT is no longer supported/
fixed by Microsoft) or other flaws.
So if you found Windows NT 4 in your Nessus report, I strongly
encourage you to do what you can (I now it is not always possible) to
upgrade to Windows 2000/2003.
Nicolas
