Dear @Conor O'Neill , we are observing a lot of new vulns with similar output (plugin id 187201):
Version source : SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_8.7
Installed version : 8.7
Fixed version : 9.6p1 / 9.6
while we have latest available version installed.
We are suspecting that this is a FP - can you confirm that there will be some tweaking of recent changes?
We are also registering a new case with the support.
Hello Mateusz!
We experienced the same in many OS distributions.
Do you have some resolution for the problem since then?
In the meantime Tenable updated the backport.inc file (/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins/backport.inc) in order to correct the backport version detection. As a result of this the number of the false positives are greatly reduced.
