Hello All,

I believe the following Nessus Script ID 20862 version 1.8 contains a bug.

When running Script ID 20862 the following messages appear in the nessusd.dump file:

[9204](/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/mozilla_org_installed.nasl) Unknown9204 escape sequence '\P'
[9204](/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/mozilla_org_installed.nasl) Unknown9204 escape sequence '\M'
[9204](/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/mozilla_org_installed.nasl) Unknown9204 escape sequence '\f'
[9204](/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/mozilla_org_installed.nasl) Unknown9204 escape sequence '\P'
[9204](/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/mozilla_org_installed.nasl) Unknown9204 escape sequence '\M'
[9227](/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/mozilla_org_installed.nasl) Unknown9227 escape sequence '\P'
[9227](/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/mozilla_org_installed.nasl) Unknown9227 escape sequence '\M'
[9227](/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/mozilla_org_installed.nasl) Unknown9227 escape sequence '\f'
[9227](/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/mozilla_org_installed.nasl) Unknown9227 escape sequence '\P'
[9227](/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins/mozilla_org_installed.nasl) Unknown9227 escape sequence '\M'

I believe this is cause by the value contain in variable exe2. Depending on what the check is checking the value of exe2 could be:
1. \Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe
2. \Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Is there a better way to 'handle' the exe2 variable so it will not display messages in the nessusd.dump file?

Thanks,
Paul
