pyCA tries to make it easier for people to set up and run a organizational
certificate authority which fulfills the need for a fairly secure
certification processing. The package also tries to reduce administrative
tasks and user's frustration by providing a comfortable web interface to
users contacting the certificate authority.
Changes since 1.2.0:
1.2.6 :
. changes by Michael Slifcak (Michael.Slifcak@guardent.com)
- Added Bugtraq cross reference in the plugins
- Added support for BID in nessusd (this has yet to be done on the
client side)
. changes by Axel Nennker (Axel.Nennker@t-systems.com)
- fixed the xml and html outputs
- fixed array issues in a couple of plugins
. changes by Michel Arboi (arboi@bigfoot.com)
- find_service now detects services protected by TCP wrappers or ACL
- find_service detects gnuserv
- ptyexecvp() replaced by nessus_popen() (*)
. changes by Renaud Deraison (deraison@cvs.nessus.org)
- Fixed a bug which may make nasl interpret backquoted strings
(\n and \r) received from the network (problem noted by Pavel Kankovsky)
- nmap_wrapper.nes calls _exit() instead of exit() (*)
- Solved the lack of bpf's on Free/Open/NetBSD and MacOSX by
sharing _one_ among all the Nessus processes. As a result, Nessus's
ping is much more effective on these platforms
- bugfix in plug_set_key() which would eventually make some scripts
take too long when writing in the KB
- Plugins of family ACT_SETTINGS are run *after* plugins of family
ACT_SCANNERS
- replaced the implementation of md5 which was used when OpenSSL is disabled
by the one from RSA (the old one would not work on a big-endian host)
- Fixed plugins build issues on MacOS X
- The nessus client compiles and links against GTK+-2.0. Of course, it will
be horrible and instable, as the GTK team does not care about backward
compatibility
(*) These two modifications solve the problems of nmap hanging under FreeBSD
1.2.5 :
. changes by Michel Arboi (arboi@bigfoot.com)
- find_service now displays unknown services that run on assigned ports
- read_stream_connection smarter (smaller timeout)
- find_service sometimes declared IDENT as "unknown"
. changes by Renaud Deraison (deraison@cvs.nessus.org)
- Fixed a deadlock that would prevent some plugins from completing
- Fixed a possible (although rare) corruption issue in the reports
(the script IDs could under some circumstances be random)
- Fixed a potential segfault in the execution of nasl scripts
1.2.4 :
. changes by Renaud Deraison (deraison@cvs.nessus.org)
- Reverted back to autoconf 2.13.
- Bug fix in nessus-core/nessusd/pluginlaunch.c - under some circumstances,
data might have be lost in the reports
- Fixed a bug in several plugins for web checks (under some circumstances,
a plugin would do N x N checks against the remote web servers (where
N equals to the number of web servers running on the remote host)
1.2.3 :
. changes by Isaac Dawson (idawson@securitymanagementpartners.com)
- New html output layout.
. changes by Pasi Eronen (pasi.eronen@nixu.com)
- fix in nmap_wrapper
. changes by Renaud Deraison (deraison@cvs.nessus.org)
- Fixed a bug which could make, under some circumstances, make nessusd
crash the host it is running on.
- If the option log_whole_attack is set to "no", then only the begining
and the end of the attack is logged (and not the time each plugin takes)
- Improved no404.nasl to further reduce false positives
- Bug fix in nessusd - under some rare circumstances, report data could
be lost (if many many plugins were enabled at the same time and were
sending data at the same time).
- UDP packets are resent while we wait for a reply (avoids to loose packets
en route)
- Fixed the option "auto_enable_dependencies" which would not always work
- Sending a SIGTERM to the nessus client during a command line scan
forces it to save its result to the current test file
- Non-printables characters are not shown in the report any more
1.2.2 :
. changes by Renaud Deraison (deraison@cvs.nessus.org)
- In the GUI, while running a scan, plugins names are only updated once
in a while (saves CPU)
- Bugfix in the client : some host names would make the client crash
- Repaired the '-P' switch in the client
1.2.1 :
. changes by Simon Law (sfllaw@engmail.uwaterloo.ca)
- Made a manpage for nessus-mkcert-client(1) and have it installed by
the Makefile
- Revised most other manpages for missing information and to increase
clarity

compiler flags for shared objects.
2002-06-11 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: Move -lsocket and -lnsl checks before LDAP link
tests so they work properly on Solaris. Noted by David Champion.
Also, check for the Mozilla LDAP library if the OpenLDAP library
check fails. Put -lsocket and -lnsl in NETLIBS rather than LIBS
so not all programs are forced to link to them.
2002-06-05 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: Add a switch for the experimental external HKP
keyserver interface.
2002-05-22 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>

* configure.ac: If LDAP comes up unusable, try #including <lber.h>
before giving up. Old versions of OpenLDAP require that.
2002-05-03 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: In g10defs.h, use \ for the directory separator
when HAVE_DOSISH_SYSTEM is on.
* configure.ac: Add --disable-exec flag to disable all remote
program execution. --disable-exec implies --disable-ldap and
--disable-mailto. Also look in /usr/lib for sendmail. If
sendmail is not found, do not default - just fail.
2002-04-30 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: Try and link to a sample LDAP program to check if
the LDAP we're about to use is really sane. The most common
problem (using a very old OpenLDAP), could be fixed with an extra
#include, but this would not be very portable to other LDAP
libraries.
otpCalc is an RFC2289 and RFC1760 compliant one time password
calculator, written to use the GTK+ library for screen I/O.

Here is quote from 2.0's release announce but changes from 2.0 to 2.1 are
unknown.
New in this version of RATS:
RATS can now descend through directories recursively, analyzing any supported
source code it finds.
Ability to output results as HTML or XML.
Result output can contain the line of code that caused each problem to be
reported, along with the column number in the source file the problem was
detected at.
RATS will now report various statistics at the end of the reporting phase,
including total time spend on the analysis, and number of source lines analyzed.
Various database additions.
A new database file, rats-openssl, which aids in analyzing any code that
utilizes the OpenSSL C API. (Thanks to Ben Laurie for contributing this
database)
Changes :
+ PKCS12 certificate support, patch submitted by Beni Takahashi,
author of patch Daisuke Kuroda
+ Fixing compile warnings on Solaris 8/Sparc with Forte 7.0 about
implicit conversions and implicit declarations. Thanks to
Marek Rouchal for bug report.
- Removed unused dependency on URI::URL, thanks to Ric Steinberger
for pointing out this problem under perl 5.8.0
- fixed Makefile.PL use of dirname() which could error for perl 5.8.x
Thanks to Chip Turner of RedHat for patch.
- Fixed a runtime error with Net::SSL->proxy for running under
perl warnings with no proxy defined, which t/net_ssl.t test case
revealed.
+ Added t/net_ssl.t test for initializing a Net::SSL object
+ Added build auto-detect for 0.9.6+ and only then use OPENSSL_free
instead of free() since older OpenSSL like 0.9.4 did not have it.
+ Added ./net_ssl_test -CAfile documentation, and root CA file from mod_ssl
distribution at certs/ca-bundle.crt that can be used for general root CA
peer certificate verification.
+ Plus many bugs fixed and improvement... see CHANGES for more
Two recent changes :
v0.91
- Added support for SSL_peek and SSL_pending (peek() and
pending()). Updated documentation, tests, etc. to reflect
this.
v0.901 2002.08.19
- Fixed the warning that happens when sockets are not explicitly
closed() before the program terminates.
For full log, please see Changes
* Use bsd.pkg.install.mk and install the example xdm config files.
* Rename the rc.d script to "xdm_krb4.sh" and make it use /etc/rc.subr.
* Remove redundant MESSAGE; the INSTALL script says all the right things.
* Improved the default output so it creates multiple formatted lines
instead of single very long lines for each hit.
Use the new "--singleline" (-S) option to get the original
"long line" format.
* Removed duplicate "getpass" entry in the ruleset;
this didn't hurt anything, but was unnecessary.
Thanks to the user who gave me that feedback, wish I'd kept your
email address so I could credit you properly :-).
* Added a short tutorial to man page.
* Fixed initial upper/lower case on many entries in the ruleset.
* Allow "--input" as a synonym for "--inputs".
headers in ${BUILDLINK_DIR}, simply create BUILDLINK_CPPFLAGS.<pkg>
variables whose values are appended to CPPFLAGS, which are automatically
passed to the configure and build processes.
BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM.<pkg> has little use in buildlink2 since packages are
now told that the software may be found where it really is installed, not
in ${BUILDLINK_DIR} as was the case with buildlink1. Eventually, these
variables will be declared unsupported by buildlink2.
extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.
