Hi,

I have a Fedore Core 2 Linux, with automatic update with yum all the 
days. Today I point NESSUS to my server and these vulnerabilities were 
found:

1) Apache 2.0.51 => better is 2.0.52
2) SSH 3.6.1 => better is 3.7.1
3) Proftpd 1.2.10

but are these problems very new? And how can I discover if, for example, 
my SSH 3.6.1 is "like" 3.7.1, that Nessus alerts that it's possible the 
distro doesn't update the version but solve the problem?

Other question: I have http-proxy 8080 (Tomcat 5.0.25 - one of the 
latest version available). What about this message from Nessus?

Some versions of the mini-sql program comes with a
w3-msql CGI which is vulnerable to a buffer overflow.
An attacker may use it to gain a shell on this system.

I don't have w3-msql installed...

The last question: excuse me but I don't know what is omad or statd 
service. Can anyone explain the needed of it? Thanks...

Vulnerability found on port omad (32768/udp)
The remote statd service may be vulnerable to a format string attack.
This means that an attacker may execute arbitrary code thanks to a bug 
in this daemon.
Only older versions of statd under Linux are affected by this problem.

Thanks for any help,
