I just started using nessus 2.0.12 and immediately ran into some strange behavior. When scanning a Red Hat Enterprise 3 system, a number of different warnings and holes all show the same text: ----- The 'search.dll' CGI which comes with Sambar server can be used to obtain a listing of the remote web server directories even if they have a default page such as index.html. This allows an attacker to gain valuable information about the directory structure of the remote host and could reveal the presence of files which are not intended to be visible. ----- This shows up for ssh, general/tcp, and general/icmp. I've tried using both the stock plugins from 2.0.12 and the most recent version. I get a different Sambar message between the two versions, but the same problem remains-- the messages don't correspond to the warnings/ports discovered. Anything else I should look at? -- Steve _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
