Problem with plugin 18502 reporting Windows SMB flaw

from [Miles B.L.] Network Security [Permanent Link]
Subject: Problem with plugin 18502 reporting Windows SMB flaw
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 13:52:22 +0100 
Hello,
I recently scanned a windows 2003 server (SP1) with Nessus and it
reported it was vulnerable to the Server Message
Block (SMB) implementation flaw as described in MS05-027 and tested for
by plugin 18502.
On checking with the system adminstrator, he confirmed the system had
the patch (896422) described in MS05-027 applied and that the Mircrosoft
Baseline security analyser confirmed the system was not vulnerable.

My conclusion - either the patch doesn't resolve the vulnerability
(unlikely) or the plugin has reported a false positive for some reason
(more likely)?

Has anyone else come across this problem?

How do we report this to someone to check and fix?

Thanks,
Brevan Miles
