I wonder if the current nmap version for openSUSE 11.1 is capable to detect Conficker infected machines on the network, or if the latest version of nmap is required as described in the Linux Journal? http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/detecting-conficker-linux-tools
The article states that you 'You MUST get nmap-4.85BETA5' (or later). In 11.1, there is nmap-4.75, so it won't work.
You have to build it yourself or try RPMs from nmap homepage: http://nmap.org/download.html (Linux RPM Source and Binaries)
What I'm wondering is: Yes, obviously that's a new feature but one could argue that it's security relevant. Actually not for the openSUSE system but for detecting security issues. I'm just ignoring the BETA in the version number now but shouldn't a thing like that considered to be updated in certain cases even in released openSUSE versions? - if the package is a leaf package - the update itself has low risk - it's not far too much work Just an idea for consideration.
