Hi, Yesterday I discovered a problem with Nessus 4.20 on Windows XP Professional SP2. While scanning several hosts behind a cisco PIX 7.x firewall I got the error "vnsprintf returned -1 in log_vwrite -- bizarre. Quitting.". The command line at first was "nmap -sS -sV -O -PI -oN <file> <target>", due to this problem I modified those options. I tried -sT instead of -sS, since it didn?t work either I tried scanning without OS detection, it also didn't work. Seems the PIX did something like generic application proxing, with nessus I saw thousends of open ports per host.
