Fedora 25 OpenVAS Manager Update FEDORA-2016-73e509d4e4 Critical

Calendar Grey September 22, 2016
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The most recent security patch for OpenVAS Manager on Fedora 25 resolves existing vulnerabilities while also improving performance.
Bump to the latest patch release of the openvas 8.0

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.
