Hi, recently I had trouble generating Nessus reports with individual warning messages greater than 32K. Whenever this happens the client simply answers with "nessusd returned an empty report". After some investigation I found that this is purely a client-side issue. When cranking up a few buffer sizes in data_mining.c and monitor_dialog.c from 32K to 1M all problems go away. I'm not sure if there are any memory or performance implications with this patch. My question: Is there any reason for buffer sizes to be limited to 32K? Is this something we could change in the head branch? All the best, Boris _______________________________________________ Nessus-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus-devel
