Nessus 4.0.1 released

Tenable Network Security has released version 4.0.1 of Nessus, which is a comprehensive vulnerability scanning software. It is able to scan and detect multiple vulnerabilities in the network and subsequently outputs them in a report. This point release includes a variety of minor bug fixes as well as support for additional authentication schemes.

Here's a summary of some of the fixes and improvements:

Fixed memory & register leaks in NASL
nessus-fetch now supports Basic, Digest, and NTLM proxy authentication schemes
The timeout for NessusClient TCP socket was too low and has been increased
The 'nessus' cmd line tool would sometimes leave temporary files on the filesystem
Improved performance for reverse DNS lookups
Pinging a remote host would sometimes fail if the ARP address of the gateway was not in the local cache
