Hello, The OpenVAS developers are happy to announce the release of openvas-server 2.0.2. This is the second maintenance release of the openvas-server module for the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) 2.0-series.
It fixes some issues discovered after the release of openvas-server 2.0.1 and introduces support for new features. Thanks to the continuing audit of the code, a number of obsolete, unused and/or unnecessary functions were identified and removed. Effects when installing this version: * The option "Silent dependencies" is now "off" by default. Previously it was set to "on", openvas-client >= 2.0.2 has already switched to "off" per default. Note that this may result in larger reports. * Dependencies: openvas-server 2.0.2 requires openvas-libraries 2.0.2 and openvas-libnasl 2.0.1. You need to install these prior to openvas-server 2.0.2. * The openvas-adduser script will no longer allow passwords in plaintext for new users. This means that the openvas-adduser script will refuse to add a new user if neither openssl nor md5sums is available. Main changes since 2.0.1: * OVAL support has been improved and now supports multiple definitions and results in one file. * Support for per-host password based local checks has been added. * Debian packaging files have been updated. * Dependency searching has been improved to work better with subdirectories. * openvas-server will now generate a warning if a NVT could not be cached. * The openvas-adduser script will no longer create the now obsolete "plugins" directory in the user directory. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release: Vlatko Kosturjak, Jan Wagner, Felix Wolfsteller and Michael Wiegand.
