I was playing with nmap_wrapper.nes the other day and noticed that if
you run it from the command line without any options or input it
segfaults. At least on my machine it does. 

Is nmap_wrapper.nes one of the plugins that should never be run from the
command line because it reads from a special pipe or something?



Homework question: 

As you probably guessed from above, I haven't looked at the code much,
but is there any risk to nessus in general as a result of
nmap_wrapper.nes segfaulting? Anyone think of a way that a user could
feed it garbage data to purposefully cause it to crash? Is this
something that is potentially exploitable in other words?
