Okay, here's another question on 19408.

Plugin 19408 indicates that Windows NT boxes are vulnerable. However, when
I run an actual exploit crafted for the MS05-039 vulnerability against a
Window NT box, it fails to make the NULL session connection. Are these
boxes that 19408 flags actually vulnerable? Or is this a false positive?
Is there a way to filter my scan so that 19408 doesn't give these possible
false positives?

Public exploits use "browser" pipe which is not available under NT 4.
We use another pipe in the NASL plugin to test the flaw. It is the reason why Nessus can detect both vulnerable versions of Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.
