Nessus is the world’s most popular vulnerability scanner used in over 75,000 organizations world-wide. Many of the world’s largest organizations are realizing significant cost savings by using Nessus to audit business-critical enterprise devices and applications.

Changelog for this release:

  • Fixed a cross site scripting vulnerability in the Windows GUI
  • Fixed a possible segfault condition occuring when multiple clients simultaneously log into the nessusd server
  • Fixed a memory leak in nasl scripts containing a function on_exit()
  • Improved performance when logging into nessusd
  • The scan does not fail any more if the main nessusd process runs out of file descriptors (this would occur on Solaris with max_host set to a value higher than 200)
  • Several fixes in the NASL interpreter
  • Builds for Fedora Core 7 and Red Hat ES 5
