Plugin ID 16226 (java)

Subject: Plugin ID 16226 (java)

Hi all,

I've just updated several windows-machines with the latest java, and nessus reports it to be very old and shameful :) Any ideas on why it is so?

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

Plugin ID: 16226

Nessus (with latest plugins) reports vulnerability:

Solution: Upgrade to JRE 1.4.2_06 or 1.3.1_13
Risk factor : High
BID : 12317
Nessus ID : 16226

The nessusd version is:
[root@xxxxx ~]# /opt/nessus/sbin/nessusd -v
nessusd (Nessus) 3.0.5. [build 258] for Linux
(C) 1998 - 2007 Tenable Network Security, Inc.

And the java version on the windows host is reported to be:

C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx>java -version
java version "1.6.0_01"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_01-b06, mixed mode, sharing)

nessusd.messages shows the server being scanned.

The logs show it being launched(can't see exact time, but gues it's the latest due to timestamp equal finished scan time in nessusd.messages):
[root@nessus logs]# cat /opt/nessus//var/nessus/users/user/kbs/servername | grep 16226
1177005471 3 Success/16226=1
1177005471 3 Launched/16226=1


Any bids on what makes this Plugin report false data? I have provided smb login for the host and everything else (I know of) works fine. I don't knoiw if the latest patches from microsoft has plugins to identify them yet, but none of them showed up on the scans performed. And last I checked I did have subscription :)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely
Max
