Package: nessus-plugins
Version: 1.0.10-2
Severity: normal
nessus (unstable and experimental) is affected by this. ping_host
(tested more ICMP pings) does not timeout. Makes it impossible to scan
class C networks or DNS xfer scans.
I tried looking for solutions on the nessus mail list, but found nothing
useful and have disabled pings to allow nmap to detect a down host.
