Broken html generated by 2.2.8?

Subject: Broken html generated by 2.2.8?
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2006 09:57:24 +0100
I've installed 2.2.8 yesterday upon recommendation that it was the latest in the 2.x series and scanned my subnet from the command line using the client as follows:

nessus -c .nessusrc -T html_graph -q localhost 1241 myuser mypassword targetfile nessus_results -x

The graphs and html were all generated so I took a look at them through apache. It seems that the pages have broken links, perhaps not all the html was generated correctly.

eg.

http://mywebserver/nessus_results/ip_address/index.html

works fine but contains lines like

/ssh (22/tcp) <http://hermes/nessus_results/192_168_1_150/index.html#192_168_1_150_22_tcp>// <http://hermes/nessus_results/192_168_1_150/index.html#192_168_1_150_22_tcp> (Security notes found)/

where the link that /ssh (22/tcp) <http://hermes/nessus_results/192_168_1_150/index.html#192_168_1_150_22_tcp> /points to is

http://mywebserver/nessus_results/ip_address/index.html#ip_address_port_tcp

but this anchor doesn't exit and the page isn't big enough to really contain it.

A lot of pages have these broken links but I've just found one that actually works as expected and has some service information lower down on the page, anchored so the links in the port listings work.

I'm not sure if this is by design or by fault but a lot of pages are also missing the pie charts at the top to show the percentages of security risks.

It seems that the pages with the broken links and missing service information are also the same pages with the missing pie charts at the top, so it seems that those pages were not constructed properly, despite the fact those machines have lots of open ports listed.

Any help appreciated.
