Hello,
the OpenVAS developers are happy to announce that
openvas-plugins 1.0.3 is released.
This is a maintenance release with a considerable number
of new (1000+) and improved NASL scripts.
It is recommended to update your installation
with this package because it also contains an
updated feed synchronisation script.
Main changes are:
* Full support for FreeBSD (local security checks)
* Many new vulnerability checks across several families for current
security issues. Among this many Windows local security checks.
* Fixes for several NASL libraries (mostly .inc files) in order
to re-enable proper functionality for large number of NASL scripts.
* Reimplementations for some NASL suport routines that were proprietary
with Nessus.
* Reactivation of license-clarified NASL libraries, e.g. for
SMB checks.
* Extension for RPM-based systems to allow for package signatures tests
(this prepares support for OVAL-based checks)
* Many new Debian local security checks (complete and up-to-date)
* All tcp scanners have been reviewed and improved, support for ike,
pnscan and portbunny is added.
* Improved Debian packaging files.
* Internal consolidation for Knowledge Base entries (especially package
information for local security checks)
* Updated license auditing routine (internal use)
* Obsolete C plugin "tftp_grab_file" removed.
