New releases : Nessus 3.0.4, 2.2.9 and NessusClient 1.0.0

Hi everyone,

Tenable Network Security, Inc. is proud to announce the immediate  
availability of Nessus 3.0.4, 2.2.9 and NessusClient 1.0.0 :



Nessus 3.0.4
------------

This new release contains the following enhancements and fixes :

Nessus daemon :

- 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
- Binaries for Fedora Core 6



Command line client :

- 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 any more
- Fixed file lock issues



Nessus 2.2.9 released
----------------------

This new release contains the following enhancements and fixes :

Nessus Daemon :

- Fixed a bug in the PCAP handler which in turn should fix  
synscan.nes (thanks to Marcel <mkalracuesl (at) gmail.com>)
- Fixed a banner encoding problem in nessus_tcp_scanner and find_service
- Fixed a possible deadlock in synscan
- 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
- Fixed a bug in ssh_func.inc which would prevent it from working  
against HP/UX (and in general which would break a communication where  
messages pop up on stderr in the middle of receiving data on stdout)

Nessus Client :

- 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
