Remi,

What is the vulnerability OID number?
(This should be mentioned in the details of the vulnerability, at the bottem 
under the Log Method section)

Onderwerp: Re: [Openvas-discuss] Vulnerability found on blocked port

Thank you for your answer.
Sorry for not being as clear as I wanted to.
I performed a scan on a server. This server is behind a firewall that blocks 
all port except 3 I am scanning, and blocks ICMP protocol.
At the end of the scan, I've checked the report and in this report, there is a 
vulnerability on ping flood in location "general/icmp".
As my firewall is supposed to block this protocol, how can OpenVAS find any 
vulnerability with this protocol ?
I hope I'm clear enough this time !

Rémi,

Your question is not very clear to me but I will try to answer.
First of all, which found vulnerability on the ICMP protocol? Detail your 
questions please.

Second, you cannot bypass the firewall … it’s a firewall, there doing what it 
is supposed to.
So either you find nothing, because of the firewall, and confirm your 
firewalling is OK.
Or you whitelist your scanner in the firewall and test the system regardless.

Onderwerp: [Openvas-discuss] Vulnerability found on blocked port

Hello,
I've perform a scan on 3 TCP ports (lists en ports lists).
The firewall blocks aswell the ICMP protocol.
The question is : Is that normal that OpenVAS found a vulnerability on the ICMP 
protocol ?
If this is normal, how can the scan bypass the firewall ?
Regards,
Rémi.
