Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nmap
As announced here: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2011/q1/518 Nmap 5.51 Released From: Fyodor <fyodor () insecure org> Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 16:18:35 -0800 Hi folks! I'm happy to report that Nmap 5.50 has been a huge success, with nearly 300,000 downloads in the two weeks it has been available! That much attention inevitably uncovers some bugs, so I'm pleased to release 5.51 to address them. Most of the bugs are pretty minor. Nmap 5.51 source code as well as binary packages for Linux, Mac, and Windows are now available at: http://nmap.org/download.html If you find any bugs, please let us know on nmap-dev as described at http://nmap.org/book/man-bugs.html. We're not planning another stable release in the near term, but you can inspire one by finding a big enough bug :). Here is the list of changes in 5.51: o [Ndiff] Added support for prerule and postrule scripts. [David] o [NSE] Fixed a bug which caused some NSE scripts to fail due to the absence of the NSE SCRIPT_NAME environment variable when loaded. Michael Pattrick reported the problem. [Djalal] o [Zenmap] Selecting one of the scan targets in the left pane is supposed to jump to that host in the Nmap Output in the right pane (but it wasn't). Brian Krebs reported this bug. [David] o Fixed an obscure bug in Windows interface matching. If the MAC address of an interface couldn't be retrieved, it might have been used instead of the correct interface. Alexander Khodyrev reported the problem. [David] o [NSE] Fixed portrules in dns-zone-transfer and ftp-proftpd-backdoor that used shortport functions incorrectly and always returned true. [Jost Krieger] o [Ndiff] Fixed ndiff.dtd to include two elements that can be diffed: status and address. [Daniel Miller] o [Ndiff] Fixed the ordering of hostscript-related elements in XML output. [Daniel Miller] o [NSE] Fixed a bug in the nrpe-enum script that would make it run for every port (when it was selected--it isn't by default). Daniel Miller reported the bug. [Patrick] o [NSE] When an NSE script sets a negative socket timeout, it now causes a controlled Lua stack trace instead of a fatal error. Vlatko Kosturjak reported the bug. [David] o [Zenmap] Worked around an error that caused the py2app bootstrap executable to be non-universal even when the rest of the application was universal. This prevented the binary .dmg from working on PowerPC. Yxynaxen reported the problem. [David] o [Ndiff] Fixed an output line that wasn't being redirected to a file when all other output was. [Daniel Miller] Enjoy the new release! -Fyodor ** Affects: nmap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nmap in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/739297 Title: Please update nmap: stable upstream version is 5.51 -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
