Description ChazeFroy 2005-07-23 06:37:31 UTC
Nessus 2.2.5, a maintenance release, has been released. It fixes several minor
bugs and contains some speed improvements.

Here is a quick change summary :

(Slight) Speed improvements :

- Faster scan startup speed (at the expense of a slightly bigger memory usage).
- Faster scans in general

Depending on the speed of your hard drive and the OS you're running on, you may
experience up to 15% speed improvement.

Bug fixes :

- Fixed the use of an uninitialized buffer in the shared socket code
- Fixed some uninitialized variables in nessus_tcp_scanner
- Fixed several null pointer dereferencements in libnasl
- Several other minor bugs have been fixed (see bugs.nessus.org for details)

Misc :

- New NASL function 'send_capture()'
- nessusd rotates nessusd.messages on startup if the file is too big
- Enhanced nessus_tcp_scanner
- nessus-fetch now calls nessus-update-plugins upon registration

Reproducible: Always
