I'm aware of that, but the people who do the penetration testing

anything that's less than 0.9.8h. Technically it's a false positive,
but it is still in the reports and we have to prove that it's a false
positive each time. I know what the vulnerabilities are and I've had
discussions with the pentest people, but they won't budge.
Show them my message, show it to their superiors. It is completely wrong to
flag tools as "vulnerable" just by looking at the version, the penetration
testing team is not doing their job! They're supposed to actually try the
exploits, not just check the versions.
