Regards,
..and first of all, thanks for all the responses. I have received a
couple of suggestions and will try summing them up in this mail:
1. Delete the .../plugins/.desc area, kill nessusd, restart it and retry
the test. This produced the same result as before, testing the Solaris 9 box.
2. George correctly pointed out that the description comes from the
Gentoo linux plugin, and when doing a find |grep "GLSA-200407-21", the
Gentoo plugin popped up as the only file/plugin containing this string.
The MD5 sums of this plugin are
d144378a69a577e4dfaff2e3ce63fe36 gentoo_GLSA-200407-21.desc
55820405d437235ea187a0d898462b3a gentoo_GLSA-200407-21.nasl
I have also deselected the "silent dependencies" (to try a long shot),
but no difference. Also, I tested a Sgi running IRIX 6.5.27. Testing this
system did not reveal any swat vulns. The same goes for a AIX 4.3.3 box I
tested. Also, I did a nmap run against the "vulnerable" Sun box and nmap
did not find the swat port open (this was perhaps expected as the report
indicated a general/icmp vuln on the Solaris 9 box.). Weird.
