In 4 hours I'll be on a plane to Vancouver to enjoy CanSecWest. If you're going to be there ping me and we'll grab a beer. You can find me on twitter (treguly) or email me ht [at] this domain.
One of the patches released yesterday has a serious flaw, in that an already compromised host will not have the patch properly applied. I provided a full write-up on this yesterday on the nCircle blog and felt that the importance of the issue warranted posting a link here to increase awareness.
I decided it was time to update CDVT, so the latest version is now checked into SVN.
The Metasploit Web-based SVN seems to have stopped passing a revision number, so I removed it from cdvt.xml. At the same time I updated the regexes to scrape the version information from nmap ('stable' was previously in italics and is now underlines) and Notepad++ ('The latest version :' used to have a 'v' before the version number).
The output is now:
