When ouputing to XML, the entry for nessus/openvas breaks because it has a "/" in the name.  The code is below
but I don't have the time or knowledge to fix it right now.

In the NBE it looks like this:
results|localhost|scanner.localhost|nessus/openvas (1241/tcp)

In the XML it looks like this:
<port protocol="openvas (1241/tcp" portid="1241">
    <service name="nessus/openvas" method="nessus" conf="3" />
</port>

This is either doing a conversion from the NBE or doing a direct XML output.

This is from the SVN version, just updated.
Updated to revision 2170.

xml_output_ng.c:Line 498

getproto (char *str)
{
 int i=0, offset=0, len=strlen (str);
 char *ret = emalloc (len);
 for (i=0;i<len; i++)
  if (str[i] == '(') break;
 i++;
 for (i=0;i<len; i++)
  if (str[i] == '/') break;
 i++;
 for (i=i;i<len; i++)
  if (str[i] != ')') ret[offset++] = str[i];
  else break;

 ret[offset] = '\0';
 return ret;
}

This bug has been solved in SVN revision 2275 (see
http://wald.intevation.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?rev=2275&am
p;root=openvas&view=rev). Slashes in service descriptions
no longer result in corrupted protocol attributes.
