Hello, The OpenVAS developers are happy to announce the release of OpenVAS Manager 2.0.4. This is the fourth maintenance release of the openvas-manager 2.0 module for the Open Vulnerability Assessment System release 4 (OpenVAS-4). The OpenVAS Manager is the central management service between the actual security scanner and various user clients.
This release fixes a number of issues discovered after the release of openvas-manager 2.0.3. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release: Stephan Kleine, Matthew Mundell and Michael Wiegand. Main changes since 2.0.3: * Compiler warnings from gcc 4.6 discovered by Stephan Kleine were addressed. * The mail addresses supplied for an email escalator are now used in the correct order. * Privilege dropping is now done directly and not via the shell. * A bug which caused the Manager to fail to start when launched without a database has been fixed. * A race condition which caused empty reports from the slave when running in master-slave mode under certain conditions has been fixed. * A bug which caused the timestamp of the scan end not to be written to the Manager database when running a task with an escalator under certain conditions has been fixed. The source tarball for this release is available for download from the OpenVAS website at http://www.openvas.org/. Binary packages for major GNU/Linux distributions by third parties are expected in the following weeks.
