snmp-brute plugin not working in IPv6

[Roberto Greiner <roberto () nead unesp br>]

Hi,

I've been using the nmap snmp-brute plugin for debugging my server
infra-structure, and after some tests verified that the plugin does not
work properly over IPv6.

When used with IPv4, it works properly, returning the snmp community.
But over IPv6, it only reports if the ports is open or not, never
returning the valid community. SNMP is working through IPv6, which I
verified using snmpwalk, but the script does not report the valid
community as would be expected.

PS: Tested using Debian 7 and 8 servers, 64 bits, using the following
nmap version, locally  compiled(Debian 7 output):
Nmap version 6.47 ( http://nmap.org )
Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Compiled with: nmap-liblua-5.2.3 openssl-1.0.1e libpcre-8.30
nmap-libpcap-1.2.1 nmap-libdnet-1.12 ipv6
Compiled without:
Available nsock engines: epoll poll select

PS2: Sorry if this is the wrong list to report this problem. If this
mail should have gone to another list, please indicate the correct one.
