8.151.1. RHBA-2014:0683 — nmap bug fix update
Updated nmap packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The nmap packages provide a network exploration utility and a security scanner.
Bug Fix
- BZ#1000770
- Previously, the ncat utility printed debug messages even in verbose mode. As a consequence, after connecting through an HTTP proxy, a debug message was displayed together with the received data, which could interfere with the automated processing of standard output. With this update, ncat prints debug messages only in verbose mode as expected.
Users of nmap are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
