Hi, The OpenVAS developers are happy to announce the release of openvas-client 2.0.5. This is the fifth maintenance release of the openvas-client module for the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) 2.0-series.
It fixes some issues discovered after the release of openvas-client 2.0.4 and adds some requested features. The main changes affect report conversion with the command line version of the client. It now respects severity overrides from the file ".openvas/severity_overrides.xml" which can be edited through the graphical user interface or by hand. At the same time, the severity filter now supports pattern matching. Main changes since 2.0.4: * A global timeout for NVTs can be defined from within the "Plugins" section of the GUI. * The Severity Overrides Manager allows simple pattern definitions (? and *) in the "port" and "host" fields of a severity override. * When reports are converted using the command line version, e.g. with OpenVAS-Client --in-report report.nbe --out-report report.html the user-defined severity overrides can be applied by adding the --convert-filtered, or -F flag, except for pdf and nbe file formats. Information about applied overrides is then included in the report. * Improved HTML report export, as a memory leak was fixed and the resulting document is now again valid HTML. * A bug was fixed that caused XML reports generated from the CLI to not include the NVT and Scanner list as the GUI does (http:/bugs.openvas.org/1036). * Report conversion to HTML format has been improved: - User-defined False Positives can be hidden with the --convert-drop-fp, or -D flag. - Otherwise empty sections of the report can be hidden with the --convert-drop-no-info, or -N flag. * A bug in the LaTeX document generation that lead to invalid documents has been fixed. * The openvas-ssh-client-rpm-generator.sh now gets installed in $(PREFIX)/share/openvas/. (closing bug http://bugs.openvas.org/1072). * The German translation has been updated. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this release: Stephan Kleine, Jan Wagner, Jan-Oliver Wagner, Michael Wiegand and Felix Wolfsteller.
