-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-14786 2013-08-15 01:18:47 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : nmap Product : Fedora 18 Version : 6.40 Release : 1.fc18 URL : http://nmap.org/ Summary : Network exploration tool and security scanner Description : Nmap is a utility for network exploration or security auditing. It supports ping scanning (determine which hosts are up), many port scanning techniques (determine what services the hosts are offering), and TCP/IP fingerprinting (remote host operating system identification). Nmap also offers flexible target and port specification, decoy scanning, determination of TCP sequence predictability characteristics, reverse-identd scanning, and more. In addition to the classic command-line nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes a flexible data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (netcat utility ncat), a utility for comparing scan results (ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool (nping). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - updated fo 6.40 - fixes CVE-2013-4885 nmap: arbitrary file upload flaw in http-domino-enum-passwords NSE script -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Aug 8 2013 Michal Hlavinka <mhlavink@redhat.com> - 2:6.40-1 - do not print debug messages during normal use (#994376) - nmap updated to 6.40 - allow -i timeout in listen mode * Thu May 23 2013 Michal Hlavinka <mhlavink@redhat.com> - 2:6.25-4 - zenamp: fix icon symlink (#957381) * Thu May 23 2013 Michal Hlavinka <mhlavink@redhat.com> - 2:6.25-3 - zenmap: do not traceback when there si no display, just exit nicely (#958240) * Thu Mar 28 2013 Michal Hlavinka <mhlavink@redhat.com> - 2:6.25-2 - fix aarch64 support (#926241) * Fri Mar 8 2013 Michal Hlavinka <mhlavink@redhat.com> - 2:6.25-1 - nmap updated to 6.25 * Thu Feb 14 2013 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng@lists.fedoraproject.org> - 2:6.01-11 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Mass_Rebuild * Fri Jan 4 2013 Michal Hlavinka <mhlavink@redhat.com> - 2:6.01-10 - use select as default nsock engine -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #995634 - CVE-2013-4885 nmap: arbitrary file upload flaw in http-domino-enum-passwords NSE script https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=995634 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
