Will these be taken out of the core distribution? I'm assuming that since there are duplicate IDs, OpenVAS will use the last one it loads regardless of whether or not it should be there.
I'm wondering if there's a way to denote when a script should not be used anymore. Perhaps adding some sort of flag within the script that can be checked by OpenVAS or by any plugin manager. It would then be synced once and effectively deactivated whether or not it's actually removed on the end system. I understand not wanting to remove them via the NVT sync because you risk removing custom plugins people might add. But I was wondering if there is a way to manage plugins that should be removed so they don't get loaded on top of valid plugins. FYI, there are a few other duplicates that come in openvas-plugins-1.0.5 as of a couple days ago: /usr/local/lib/openvas/plugins/secpod_libpng_detect_lin.nasl: script_id(900070); /usr/local/lib/openvas/plugins/secpod_winftp_server_dos_vuln.nasl: script_id(900070); /usr/local/lib/openvas/plugins/secpod_libpng_null_pntr_vuln.nasl: script_id(900071); /usr/local/lib/openvas/plugins/secpod_opera_mult_vuln_dec08_win.nasl: script_id(900071); /usr/local/lib/openvas/plugins/secpod_ms09-001.nasl: script_id(900069); /usr/local/lib/openvas/plugins/secpod_wsftp_server_sec_bypass_vuln.nasl: script_id(900069); /usr/local/lib/openvas/plugins/secpod_openoffice_detect_win.nasl: script_id(900072); /usr/local/lib/openvas/plugins/secpod_opera_mult_vuln_dec08_lin.nasl: script_id(900072); Can anyone tell me which of these are deprecated and should be removed?
