[R1] Nessus Network Monitor Version 6.2.1 Fixes Multiple Vulnerabilities
Critical
Synopsis
Nessus Network Monitor leverages third-party software to help provide
underlying functionality. Several of the third-party components (OpenSSL,
expat) 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 Network
Monitor 6.2.1 updates OpenSSL to version 3.0.8 and expat to version 2.5.0 to
address the identified vulnerabilities.
Solution
Tenable has released Nessus Network Monitor 6.2.1 to address these issues. The
installation files can be obtained from the Tenable Downloads Portal (https://
www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus-network-monitor).
