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
rubyruby-libs-1.8.1-7.EL4.8|(none)[me@thebox ~]$ rpm -qa --qf
