Security: False Positives from Qualys scan engine

SUMMARY

The Qualys security software reports more false positives than other software, so typical responses are included.

DESCRIPTION

 

Sample Scan Results using Qualys scan engine against a Unitrends system are shown below.
The Qualys scan engine includes a list of 'potential' vulnerabilities (issues that might be typical for this type of system) but these have not been detected.
Note that most of these vulnerabilities are false positives (no risk).    Any vulnerabilities of Type 'Potential' are almost always incorrect on Linux distributions.
*1= Any applicable vulnerabilities have been addressed in the security updates.
See Unitrends security KB for details at https://helpdesk.kaseya.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4407512592273
