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.
