Coverage for Backup Product Vulnerabilities

Do users in the Nessus community anticipate that new plug-ins will be
developed shortly to scan for vulnerabilities associated to the Veritas
and Computer Associates backup products?  Yesterday, the SANS group
(www.sans.org <http://www.sans.org/> ) published a Q2 update of the
newest vulnerabilities discovered in the last 3 months.  The
vulnerabilities for these two software products were referenced as being
"critical".   SANS did not associate these vulnerabilities to an
existing Top 20 category item, but the vulnerabilities would involve
Windows and Unix systems.

 

Our group has used Nessus for a couple years to scan critical servers in
relation to auditing at various locations.  We have become proficient
with use of the tool, but we do not at this time have the technical
capability to write our scripts.
