[R1] Nessus Version 10.6.2 Fixes Multiple Vulnerabilities Arnie Cabral Tue, 10/31/2023 - 12:35

Nessus leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality. Several of the third-party components (OpenSSL, zlib) were found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers.

Out of caution and in line with best practice, Tenable has opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Nessus 10.6.2 updates OpenSSL to version 3.0.12, and zlib fixes have been applied to address the identified vulnerabilities.

Additionally, one other vulnerability was discovered, reported and fixed:
