Hello everybody, I was doing a vulnerability assessment on a production using Nessus(Only non-dangerous plugins were enabled) and some of the Novell file servers went down. I was forced to stop the test. Have anyone experienced the Novell problem with Nessus? What can do to stop crashing these servers?
In my experience, older version of Novell Netware had problems with one of the FTP plugins in Nessus. It has been a while but I believe that the test triggered a buffer overflow, even though it was a "safe" plugin, that then nuked the whole system. Double check my statements though as it has been a long time since I've run into that problem because the version of Netware was very old...3.x or 4.x I think. -- --- Nathan Valentine - nathan@nathanvalentine.org
