Hello every body,
I'm new in nessus and linux systems, I just install nessus and test it, its works fin. The problem is when I scan one system (given user name & password to perform local security checks) its give me a lot of security holes, but when I can it again after I applied the required patch, the same vulnerabilities appear !!
For example : I install nessus in fedora OS, and let him to scan the machine it self (fedora), it shows this vulnerability :
Vulnerability found on port general/tcp
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2005-562 (net-snmp).
Solution : http://www.fedoranews.org/blog/index.php?p=755
So, I download the required patch ( http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/net-snmp-5.2.1.2-FC3.1.i386.rpm ) but when I scan the machine again, the same vulnerability appear again !!
And I think it is a False Positives, how can I remove this False Positives from the report ? why its appear ? is the patch did not installed ? I let nessus to scan the machine with user name and password, so it should know I already patched the machine !!
