Package: nessus-plugins
Version: 2.2.4-2
Severity: normal

/var/lib/nessus/plugins/w32_spybot_worm_variant.nasl (Nessus ID 15520)
erroneously identifies nullidentd 1.0-3 as being the w32.spybot.fcd
worm.

The script sends "GET \r\n" to the server and considers a worm to be
found if the reply includes " : USERID : UNIX :" unless this string
is *immediately* preceded by "GET".

However, this is what nullidentd returns, courtesy of netcat:

> 00000000 47 45 54 20 0d 0a                               # GET ..
< 00000000 47 45 54 20 20 3a 20 55 53 45 52 49 44 20 3a 20 # GET  : USERID :
< 00000010 55 4e 49 58 20 3a 20 66 6f 6f 62 61 72 0d 0a    # UNIX : foobar..

Note that there are two spaces before the first colon. One comes from the
request and another from nullidentd's format string.

I don't know how the actual worm reacts, so I will refrain from
suggesting a particular fix.
