Nessus 3.1.4 (beta) available : bug fixes, 64 bits support

Hi,

Nessus 3.1.4 (beta) is now available for download.

This release contains several fixes detailed below, and adds support  
for Debian 4.0 and Red Hat ES 5 running on intel 64 bits CPUs.


*** Note that the whole Nessus 3.1.x cycle is considered as being in  
beta !



Main changes in this release :


- 64 bits builds (for Debian 4 and Red Hat ES 5 only at this time)

- Fedora Core 7 build

- Better support for IPv6. In particular, the functions  
get_local_mac_addr() / get_gw_mac_addr() work when dealing with an  
IPv6 host

- Fixed a bug related to the maximum number of TCP sessions set in  
parallel and which would cause nessusd to use more CPU than what is  
necessary

- Added several fixes in the NASL interpreter. In some cases, a copy- 
on-write operation would not be detected properly thus leading to  
incorrect modifications of some variables ;

- Fixed nessuscmd which would not be able to use the local nessus  
daemon any more

- The 'nessus' command-line utility can now produce the same report  
type (.nessus) as the Mac OS X client (which is the XML export we'll  
eventually standardize everything on).

- Several other smaller bug fixes as well as further optimisations to  
reduce memory usage.
