Added

  • An ID has been added to NVT preferences. #282
  • A new NVT cross references data handling has been added. #317
  • Add option --scan-stop. #352
  • Add support to open an rc4 stream cipher, the function to encrypt stream data using the cipher handle,
    and the function to close a handler. #354
  • Add one single config for redis to config/redis-openvas.conf. #370

Changes

  • Vendor version is now an option in the config file. #363
  • The NVT preference format has been changed. #275
  • Redis supported versions must be 3.2 or higher. #287
  • Log directory is now configurable. #316
  • The greenbone-nvt-sync script is not allowed to run as root. #323
  • OpenVAS Scanner has been renamed to OpenVAS (Open Vulnerability Assessment Scanner). #337 #343
  • Retry until a host finishes and frees a db before running a new host scan, in case there is no free redis db. Therefore a infinite loop has been added when it call kb_new(). #340
  • Use new nvti_add_tag() instead of plug_set_tag() and remove plug_set_tag(). #385
  • Remove dead code about tags regarding former openvas settings "result_prepend_tags" and "result_append_tags". #386
  • Check cache/feed errors during plugin scheduling. #358
  • Vendor version is now an option in the config file. #363

Fixed

  • An issue with stuck scans where only a single plugin is running and is beyond its timeout has been addressed. #289
  • Fix a type mismatch. Use correct format specifier for size_t. #299
  • An issue which caused falling back into a default port in get_ssh_port() has been fixed. #342
  • An issue which could have caused a truncated string in register_service() has been fixed. #373
  • Reset redis connection after the host scan finished. This avoids to leave open fd, which cause ulimit problems. #384
  • Fix mis-identification of Sphinx Search service. #387
  • Set a key in redis when the scan finishes and fix stop scan using the right pid. #390
  • Fix detection of finger service. #391
