I'm seeing plugin 22529 triggering when I don't think it should.
In smb_nt_ms06-056.nasl, I see an if test for
v[2] < 50727
I added a security_note call to print out the values of the v array and got
v[2]=-14809. Looks like a signed/unsigned 16-bit int confusion.

Which version of the DLL is installed on the remote host ?


Is there current documentation for NASL online? I found a 6 year old document at http://virtual.dyc.edu/nasl.html

At the moment, http://www.nessus.org/nasl2ref.pdf

There's a Nessus 3 update coming up, but it has unfortunately been delayed a bit.
