Relating CVE IDs in Nessus Plugins

Subject: Relating CVE IDs in Nessus Plugins
Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 11:11:18 +0530
Hi,

 

In Nessus plug-ins CVE IDs are written in script_cve_id (...).

In some plug-ins few CVE IDs are mentioned with IF conditions like:

 

if(defined_func("script_xref"))script_xref(name:"CVE",
value:"CVE-2003-0533");

if(defined_func("script_xref"))script_xref(name:"CVE",
value:"CVE-2003-0663");

 

Can we relate CVE ID with the plug-in if it's mentioned in IF condition
but not in script_cve_id tag?

 

To make my question clearer, below is the small section of a plug-in:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------

#

# (C) Tenable Network Security

#

 

if(description)

{

 script_id(12205);

 script_bugtraq_id(10111, 10113, 10117, 10119, 10122, 10124, 10125);

 script_cve_id( "CVE-2003-0907", "CVE-2003-0908", "CVE-2003-0909",

                        "CVE-2003-0910", "CVE-2004-0117",
"CVE-2004-0118", "CVE-2004-0119", "CVE-2004-0121");

 if(defined_func("script_xref"))script_xref(name:"CVE",
value:"CVE-2003-0533");

 if(defined_func("script_xref"))script_xref(name:"CVE",
value:"CVE-2003-0663");

 if(defined_func("script_xref"))script_xref(name:"CVE",
value:"CVE-2003-0719");

 if(defined_func("script_xref"))script_xref(name:"CVE",
value:"CVE-2003-0806");

 if(defined_func("script_xref"))script_xref(name:"CVE",
value:"CVE-2003-0906");

 if(defined_func("script_xref"))script_xref(name:"IAVA",
value:"2004-A-0006");

 

 script_version("$Revision: 1.17 $");

------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------

 

In the above script "CVE-2003-0533", "CVE-2003-0663"... are not
mentioned in script_cve_id(...) so can we relate these CVE IDs with the
plug-in?

 

Warm Regards

Nitin Shingari
