    Hi all... I've installed webmin on my mail server (debian) and i did a vulnerability scan with Nessus and get following results:

    ndmp (10000/tcp)

     
    Synopsis :

    This web server leaks a private IP address through its HTTP headers.

    Description :

    This may expose internal IP addresses that are usually hidden or masked
    behind a Network Address Translation (NAT) Firewall or proxy server

    Can someone please help fix this issue, it's very important for my company to implement security at highest level?

    Thanx in advance,waiting for your reply

      was your check run from the intranet? if this is the error page for webmin, it will actually give out the WAN IP if you make an attempt to connect via http instead of https. this is cureable. find the file (i believe it is a pl/pm file) and remove the var.
