Fedora 22: 2015-10946 Moderate: Openvas-Manager Scanner Issue Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey July 14, 2015
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Explore the Fedora 22 patch for openvas-manager aimed at resolving issues with scanner operations and enhancing overall security.
Bump to openvas8 because of the issues found in previous versions

Summary

The OpenVAS Manager is the central service that consolidates plain vulnerability

scanning into a full vulnerability management solution. The Manager controls the

Scanner via OTP and itself offers the XML-based, stateless OpenVAS Management

Protocol (OMP). All intelligence is implemented in the Manager so that it is

possible to implement various lean clients that will behave consistently e.g.

with regard to filtering or sorting scan results. The Manager also controls

a SQL database (sqlite-based) where all configuration and scan result data is

centrally stored.

Update Information:

Bump to openvas8 because of the issues found in previous versions. This should be the first version with scanner really working on Fedora.
