-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-0636 2009-01-16 22:39:41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : libnasl Product : Fedora 9 Version : 2.2.11 Release : 3.fc9 URL : http://www.nessus.org Summary : Nessus Attack Scripting Language Description : NASL is a scripting language designed for the Nessus security scanner. Its aim is to allow anyone to write a test for a given security hole in a few minutes, to allow people to share their tests without having to worry about their operating system, and to guarantee everyone that a NASL script can not do anything nasty except performing a given security test against a given target. Thus, NASL allows you to easily forge IP packets, or to send regular packets. It provides you some convenient functions that will make the test of web and FTP server more easy to write. NASL garantees you that a NASL script: - will not send any packet to a host other than the target host, - will not execute any commands on your local system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Jan 12 2009 Andreas Bierfert <andreas.bierfert[AT]lowlatency.de> - 2.2.11-3 - fix #479655 * Mon Dec 1 2008 Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@fedoraproject.org> - 2.2.11-2 - in doc pkg: include missing dirs and mark files as %doc * Sun Nov 23 2008 Andreas Bierfert <andreas.bierfert[AT]lowlatency.de> - 2.2.11-1 - version upgrade - fix #465106 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #479655 - libnasl: OpenSSL incorrect checks for malformed signatures https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479655 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
