[Nessus-announce] Nessus 3.1.4 (beta) available : bug fixes, 64 bits support

[Renaud Deraison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]

Hi,

Nessus 3.1.4 (beta) is now available for download.

This release contains several fixes detailed below, and adds support  
for Debian 4.0 and Red Hat ES 5 running on intel 64 bits CPUs.


*** Note that the whole Nessus 3.1.x cycle is considered as being in  
beta !



Main changes in this release :


- 64 bits builds (for Debian 4 and Red Hat ES 5 only at this time)

- Fedora Core 7 build

- Better support for IPv6. In particular, the functions  
get_local_mac_addr() / get_gw_mac_addr() work when dealing with an  
IPv6 host

- Fixed a bug related to the maximum number of TCP sessions set in  
parallel and which would cause nessusd to use more CPU than what is  
necessary

- Added several fixes in the NASL interpreter. In some cases, a copy- 
on-write operation would not be detected properly thus leading to  
incorrect modifications of some variables ;

- Fixed nessuscmd which would not be able to use the local nessus  
daemon any more

- The 'nessus' command-line utility can now produce the same report  
type (.nessus) as the Mac OS X client (which is the XML export we'll  
eventually standardize everything on).

- Several other smaller bug fixes as well as further optimisations to  
reduce memory usage.


Nessus 3.1.4 can be downloaded right now from http://www.nessus.org/
