Nessus 5.2.5 is now available for download. This new release fixes the following issues:

  • A possible deadlock occurring under certain conditions at the end of the scan has been corrected
  • Reduced the overall memory usage by using a different memory allocator (Linux only)
  • A memory leak in webmirror has been corrected
  • Fixes an issue occurring when scanning for IPv6 targets on the same local subnet (Linux)
  • Fixes the cross-references in the /plugins/description API
  • Switched the default plugin database to "low memory usage" (qdb_mem_usage=low) on new installations

You may download the new release from the Tenable Support Portal or the Nessus Download page.
