  "summary": "Updated nmap packages fix security vulnerability",
  "details": "Nmap developer nnposter found a security flaw (directory traversal\nvulnerability) in the way the non-default http-fetch script sanitized\nURLs. If a user manualy ran this NSE script against a malicious web\nserver, the server could potentially (depending on NSE arguments used)\ncause files to be saved outside the intended destination directory.\nExisting files couldn't be overwritten.  We fixed http-fetch, audited\nour other scripts to ensure they didn't make this mistake, and updated\nthe httpspider library API to protect against this by default.\n",
