A few recent updates...

Four new exploit modules have been pushed to msfupdate:

 * backupexec_registry [thanks pedram!]
 * phpbb_highlight [thanks valsmith!]
 * ie_objecttype [thanks skape!]

The solaris_dtspcd_noir module now strips out null bytes from the data 
printed to the screen. [reported by Pavel K.]

The msfconsole and msfcli user interfaces will now strip terminal escape 
sequences from any output. [overhyped by the Shmoo Group]

A new reference type, 'NSS', can now be used to reference Nessus Script 
IDs from within metasploit modules. [requested by Sensepost]
