I've found a nasty dependency issue.
KB shows:
1147793076 3 SMTP/sendmail=1
log shows:
[timestamp][pid] user x : Not launching sendmail_daemon_mode.nasl against target because the key SMTP/sendmail is missing (this is not an error)
[timestamp][pid] user x : Not launching sendmail_sun_forward.nasl against target because the key SMTP/sendmail is missing (this is not an error)
[timestamp][pid] user x : Not launching sendmail_maillocal_dos.nasl against target because the key SMTP/sendmail is missing (this is not an error)
[timestamp][pid] user x : Not launching sendmail_conversion_overflow.nasl against target because the key SMTP/sendmail is missing (this is not an error)
[timestamp][pid] user x : Not launching sendmail_875_bo.nasl against target because the key SMTP/sendmail is missing (this is not an error)
[timestamp][pid] user x : Not launching SHN_Sendmail_DoublePipe.nasl against target because the key SMTP/sendmail is missing (this is not an error)
[timestamp][pid] user x : Not launching sendmail_header.nasl against target because the key SMTP/sendmail is missing (this is not an error)
[timestamp][pid] user x : Not launching sendmail_debug_leak.nasl against target because the key SMTP/sendmail is missing (this is not an error)
A quick grep shows the following plugins looking for this KB key:
sendmail_875_bo.nasl
sendmail_bt_switch.nasl
sendmail_conversion_overflow.nasl
sendmail_custom_config.nasl
sendmail_daemon_mode.nasl
sendmail_debug_leak.nasl
sendmail_debug.nasl
sendmail_decode.nasl
sendmail_dns_map_txt_overflow.nasl
sendmail_etrn_dos.nasl
sendmail_forword_include.nasl
sendmail_header.nasl
sendmail_local_overflow.nasl
sendmail_long_debug.nasl
sendmail_maillocal_dos.nasl
sendmail_mime_overflow2.nasl
sendmail_mime_overflow.nasl
sendmail_parsing_redirection.nasl
sendmail_prescan_overflow.nasl
sendmail_queue_destruction.nasl
sendmail_sun_forward.nasl
SHN_Sendmail_DoublePipe.nasl
smtp_bounce.nasl
smtp_helo.nasl
Yet only a couple of the above have the dependency:
smtpscan.nasl
Which is the plugin responsible for creating that KB key. (my research shows)
Same results on nessus 2.2.4 and 2.2.7.
I'd update the plugins, but the auto-update could undo the work at any time.
Do the authors of these plugins need to add the smtpscan dependency?
OR
Is smtpscan supposed to be configured as a 'scanner' ??
If the latter, what other plugins are to be considered scanners that my WX client is missing?!
Thanks,
anon
