Scanning a win/xp machine with Windows Nessus, plugin 11952 says the flash version is older than 7.0.19.0, but Shavlik says the version is 7.0.68.0. Looking closer, I find flash7a.ocx 7.0.68.0 flash.ocx 6.0.79.0 in \windows\system32\macromed\flash. Looks like the install of version 7 didn't remove all of version 6 and the plugin is seeing the old version. (I modified the plugin to display the version number and got 6.0.79.0.) The registry entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\CurrentVersion says 7,0,68,0. Unless there's some way the old, vulnerable flash can be triggered, I think the plugin should ignore the old file. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
