Tenable Announces the Release of Nessus 3.0.4
October 30, 2006 · Columbia, MD
Tenable Network Security, Inc. is proud to announce the availability of Nessus 3.0.4 for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD. This release contains the following fixes and enhancements:
Nessus daemon ('nessusd'):
- Processing the plugins after an update is faster
- Better detection and handling of corrupt db files
- It is now possible to use 'default' in a port range just like any other port (ie: '1,default,443,8080')
- Avoid a deadlock in the main process when waiting for a sub process to die
- nessus_tcp_scanner works much better when used over a slow network link
- nessus_tcp_scanner now offers some options accessible thru the GUI
- If 'log_whole_attack' is set to 'no' , do not print messages about shared sockets in the logs
- Fixed the 'on_exit()' nasl function
- Fixed 'nasl -k' which would sometimes not work properly
- Avoid doing some un-necessary system calls, thus resulting in a lower load during a scan (esp. on Mac OS X)
- Fixed a bug in ssh_func.inc which would prevent it from working against HP/UX
Command line client ('nessus'):
- Logs much faster in a remote nessusd scanner
- Fixed a possible memory corruption issue when creating a list of plugins to launch
- Fixed a corruption of the .nessusrc files when receiving some plugin prefs ending by a space
Mac OS X specific changes:
- Opening and closing a session window would stop all on-going scans
- Creating a policy and defining it as 'shared' immediately saves the policies on disk
Windows-specific changes:
- Not a beta anymore
- Fixed file lock issues
