Nmap 6.47 released

[Fyodor <fyodor () nmap org>]

Hi folks!  We just releaded Nmap 6.47 which I hope will fix some of the
issues people have been having on Mac OS X 10.9 and when trying to use
Ndiff from Zenmap.  It has some other fixes and changes, but we were pretty
selective in what we put in.  The goals was to make this mostly a stability
release, but we couldn't help ourselves from adding all the new OS
detection signatures :).  Here's are the CHANGELOG entries since 6.46:

Nmap 6.47 [2014-08-22]

o Integrated all of your IPv4 OS fingerprint submissions since June 2013
  (2700+ of them). Added 366 fingerprints, bringing the new total to 4485.
  Additions include Linux 3.10 - 3.14, iOS 7, OpenBSD 5.4 - 5.5, FreeBSD
9.2,
  OS X 10.9, Android 4.3, and more. Many existing fingerprints were
improved.
  Highlights: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2014/q3/325 [Daniel Miller]

o (Windows) Upgraded the included OpenSSL to version 1.0.1i. [Daniel Miller]

o (Windows) Upgraded the included Python to version 2.7.8. [Daniel Miller]

o Removed the External Entity Declaration from the DOCTYPE in Nmap's XML.
This
  was added in 6.45, and resulted in trouble for Nmap XML parsers without
  network access, as well as increased traffic to Nmap's servers. The
doctype
  is now:
  <!DOCTYPE nmaprun>

o [Ndiff] Fixed the installation process on Windows, which was missing the
  actual Ndiff Python module since we separated it from the driver script.
  [Daniel Miller]

o [Ndiff] Fixed the ndiff.bat wrapper in the zipfile Windows distribution,
  which was giving the error, "\Microsoft was unexpected at this time." See
  https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2524009 [Daniel Miller]

o [Zenmap] Fixed the Zenmap .dmg installer for OS X. Zenmap failed to
launch,
  producing this error:
    Could not import the zenmapGUI.App module:

'dlopen(/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/glib/_glib.so,
2):
    Library not loaded: /Users/david/macports-10.5/lib/libffi.5.dylib\n
    Referenced from:

/Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/glib/_glib.so\n
    Reason: image not found'.

o [Ncat] Fixed SOCKS5 username/password authentication. The password length
was
  being written in the wrong place, so authentication could not succeed.
  Reported with patch by Pierluigi Vittori.

o Avoid formatting NULL as "%s" when running nmap --iflist. GNU libc
converts
  this to the string "(null)", but it caused segfault on Solaris. [Daniel
Miller]

o [Zenmap][Ndiff] Avoid crashing when users have the antiquated PyXML
package
  installed. Python tries to be nice and loads it when we import xml, but it
  isn't compatible. Instead, we force Python to use the standard library xml
  module. [Daniel Miller]

o Handle ICMP admin-prohibited messages when doing service version
detection.
  Crash reported by Nathan Stocks was: Unexpected error in NSE_TYPE_READ
  callback.  Error code: 101 (Network is unreachable) [David Fifield]

o [NSE] Fix a bug causing http.head to not honor redirects. [Patrik
Karlsson]

o [Zenmap] Fix a bug in DiffViewer causing this crash:
     TypeError: GtkTextBuffer.set_text() argument 1 must be string or
read-only
     buffer, not NmapParserSAX
  Crash happened when trying to compare two scans within Zenmap. [Daniel
Miller]


Be sure to speak up on this list if you try it and encounter any problems!

Cheers,
Fyodor
