Possible False Positives Scanning 64 bit Red Hat Systems

Subject: Possible False Positives Scanning 64 bit Red Hat Systems
Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 11:00:09 -0400
I have googled and searched the list, and haven't found anything related to 
what I am seeing. I am scanning some 64 Bit Red Hat boxes, and they are coming 
up with a number of False Positive vulnerabilities. I scanned one of these 
machines a few weeks ago, and didn't notice this problem. I'm on the 14 day 
delay, and I just updated yesterday.One of the many plugins that are coming 
back vulnerable is 18441. Looking at the code, it appears that this check is 
looking for the 
following:dbus-0.22-12.EL.2dbus-devel-0.22-12.EL.2dbus-glib-0.22-12.EL.2dbus-python-0.22-12.EL.2dbus-x11-0.22-12.EL.2But
 when I look on the affected system, these packages do not appear to be 
present:[me@thebox ~]$ rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}|%{EPOCH}\n' 
| grep 
dbusdbus-devel-0.22-12.EL.9|(none)dbus-0.22-12.EL.9|(none)dbus-0.22-12.EL.9|(none)dbus-x11-0.22-12.EL.9|(none)dbus-python-0.22-12.EL.9|(none)dbus-glib-0.22-12.EL.9|(none)dbus-glib-0.22-12.EL.9|(none)Another
 example, # 19390. This check is looking 
for:irb-1.8.1-7.EL4.1ruby-1.8.1-7.EL4.1ruby-devel-1.8.1-7.EL4.1ruby-docs-1.8.1-7.EL4.1ruby-libs-1.8.1-7.EL4.1ruby-mode-1.8.1-7.EL4.1ruby-tcltk-1.8.1-7.EL4.1On
 my machine:[me@thebox ~]$ rpm -qa --qf 
'%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}|%{EPOCH}\n' | grep
