-- Functions for vulnerability management.
--
-- The vulnerabilities library may be used by scripts to report and
-- store vulnerabilities in a common format.
--
-- Reported vulnerabilities information must be stored in tables.
-- Each vulnerability must have its own state:
--  <code>NOT_VULN</code>: The program was confirmed to be not vulnerable.
--  <code>LIKELY_VULN</code>: The program is likely to be vulnerable,
--      this can be the case when we do a simple version comparaison. This
--      state should cover possible false positive situations.
--  <code>VULN</code>: The program was confirmed to be vulnerable.
--  <code>EXPLOIT</code>: The program was confirmed to be vulnerable and
--      was exploited successfully. The <code>VULN</code> state will be
--      set automatically.
--  <code>DoS</code>: The program was confirmed to be vulnerable to Denial
--      of Service attack. The <code>VULN</code> state will be set
--      automatically.
--
-- To match different vulnerability states, like the <code>VULN</code>
-- and <code>EXPLOIT</code> states or the <code>VULN</code> and
-- <code>DoS</code> states, one can use the bitwise operations.
--
--
-- Vulnerability table:
-- --------------------
-- <code>
-- local vuln_table = {
--   title = "BSD ftpd Single Byte Buffer Overflow", -- mandatory field
--   state = vulns.STATE.EXPLOIT, -- mandatory field
--   -- Of course we must confirm the exploitation, otherwise just mark
--   -- it vulns.STATE.VULN if the vulnerability was confirmed.
--   -- states: 'NOT_VULN', 'LIKELY_VULN', 'VULN', 'DoS' and 'EXPLOIT'

--       -- then their links will be automatically constructed.
--   },

--
--
-- The following examples illustrates how to use the library.
--
-- Examples for <code>portrule</code> and <code>hostrule</code> scripts:
-- <code>
--  -- portrule and hostrule scripts must use the vulns.Report class
--  -- to report vulnerabilities
--  local vuln_table = {
--   title = "BSD ftpd Single Byte Buffer Overflow", -- mandatory field
--   references = { -- List of references
--      'http://www.openbsd.org/advisories/ftpd_replydirname.txt',
--   },
--   ...
--  }
--  ...
--  vuln_table.state = vulns.STATE.VULN
--  local report = vulns.Report:new(SCRIPT_NAME, host, port)
--  return report:make_output(vuln_table, ...)
-- </code>
--
-- <code>
--  local vuln_table = {
--   title = "BSD ftpd Single Byte Buffer Overflow", -- mandatory field
--   references = { -- List of references
--      'http://www.openbsd.org/advisories/ftpd_replydirname.txt',
--   },
--   ...
--  }
--  ...
--  vuln_table.state = vulns.STATE.VULN
--  local report = vulns.Report:new(SCRIPT_NAME, host, port)
--  report:add(vuln_table, ...)
--  return report:make_output()
-- </code>
--
--
-- Examples for <code>prerule</code> and <code>postrule</code> scripts:
-- <code>
--  local FID -- my script FILTER ID
--
--  prerule = function()
--    FID = vulns.save_reports()
--    if FID then

--  local tactions = {

--    postrule = postrule_action,
--  }
--
--  action = function(...) return tactions[SCRIPT_TYPE](...) end
-- </code>
--
-- @args vulns.showall  If set, the library will show and report all the
--   registred vulnerabilities which includes the
--   <code>NOT VULNERABLE</code> ones. By default the library will only
--   report the <code>VULNERABLE</code> entries: <code>VULNERABLE</code>,
--   <code>LIKELY VULNERABLE</code>, <code>VULNERABLE (DoS)</code>
--   and <code>VULNERABLE (Exploitable)</code>.
--   This argument affects the following functions:
--   vulns.Report.make_output(): the default output function for
--                               portule/hostrule scripts.
--   vulns.make_output(): the default output function for postrule scripts.
--   vulns.format_vuln() and vulns.format_vuln_table() functions.
--
-- Library debug messages:
--   Level 2: show the <code>NOT VULNERABLE</code> entries.
--   Level 3: show all the vulnerabilities that are saved into the registry.
--   Level 5: show all the other debug messages (useful for debugging).
--
-- Note: Vulnerability tables are always re-constructed before they are
-- saved in the registry. We do this to avoid using vulnerability tables
-- that are referenced by other objects to let the Lua garbage-collector
-- collect these last objects.
