Forum: OpenVAS-Client 2.0.3 released
Posted by: Michael Wiegand
Content: The OpenVAS developers are happy to announce the release of openvas-client2.0.3. This is the third 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 2.0.2 and introduces the new "Severity Override" Feature. This feature allows for example to maintain a list of false positives and apply it to subsequent scans. This works like a filter and thus the actual scan results remain untouched and can at any time be recovered. Code audit continued and a number of obsolete, unused and/or unnecessary functions were identified and removed. Effects when installing this version: * The version requirement for the GTK+ library has been raised from 2.4 to 2.6 to make sure all GTK+ functions used by OpenVAS-Client are indeed available. GTK+ 2.6 was released in December 2004, so all modern distributions should include at least this version. Main changes since 2.0.2: * A Severity Override Manager has been added, including right-mouse-button actions in the report to specific severity overrides easily. The original scan results will never be changed, so it is safe to test the severity overrides. * A new "Extras" menu has been added and collects all "managers": The LSC Credentials Manager, the Severity Override Manager and the SLAD Install Manager. * A bug which caused the client complain about missing files when starting a scan on a fresh installation has been fixed. * A bug which caused OpenVAS-Client not to be placed in the correct menu on certain distributions has been fixed (relevant for packagers). * OpenVAS-Client is now able to remember more than one server certificate. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this release: Tim Brown, Laban Mwangi, Vlatko Kosturjak, Jan-Oliver Wagner, Michael Wiegand and Felix Wolfsteller. | Latest News
