Hello, The OpenVAS developers are happy to announce the release of openvas-plugins 1.0.7. This is the last maintenance release of the openvas-plugins module for the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS).
As it was agreed in Change Request #32 (http://www.openvas.org/openvas-cr-32.html), the OpenVAS project will no longer release tarballs of the openvas-plugins module. The NVTs contained in the openvas-plugins module will continue to be available through the OpenVAS NVT Feed and as a separate daily updated tar-ball. Please read the Change Request for details. The synchronization script and the remaining "C-Plugins" (suffix .nes) will be migrated to the openvas-server module and will be released with this module starting with openvas-server 2.1.0. Please note that this module is no longer needed if you have installed openvas-server 2.1.0 or newer. This release fixes various issues discovered after the release of openvas-plugins 1.0.6 and adds a large number of new Network Vulnerability Tests (NVTs), now in total over 11,000. Some NVTs are being reactivated by adding mandatory dependencies - these dependencies were missing because they were subject to proprietary licensing and thus were not inherited from Nessus. Shortly after release date of this version, it will be outdated in terms of NVTs. NVTs are being updated daily. We strongly recommend that you do an synchronization using the openvas-nvt-sync command before you (re-)start the OpenVAS server. This will download the latest NVTs from the OpenVAS NVT Feed. If you are packaging this module for a distribution, we recommend that you include a synchronization in you post-installation routine. Main changes since 1.0.6: * More than 1,000 new NVTs have been added. * A large number of existing NVTs have been updated and improved. * The Debian packaging files have been updated. * The synchronization script (openvas-nvt-sync) again preserves timestamps when synchronizing. * The Local Security Checks Generator (LSC-Generator) is now able to generate LSCs for Gentoo and HP-UX as well. * A number of NVTs using the tool "hydra" have been removed from openvas-plugins due to licensing issues. Please refer to the ChangeLog for details.
