Vulnerability states of the library vulns

The library vulns can mark hosts with an exploitability status, which is used to indicate to the Nmap Scripting Engine if certain vulnerabilities exist in a host.

The following is a snippet from the vulns library that shows the supported states and the corresponding string message used in the reports:

   STATE_MSG = {      [STATE.LIKELY_VULN] = 'LIKELY VULNERABLE',      [STATE.NOT_VULN] = 'NOT VULNERABLE',      [STATE.VULN] = 'VULNERABLE',      [STATE.DoS] = 'VULNERABLE (DoS)',      [STATE.EXPLOIT] = 'VULNERABLE (Exploitable)',      [bit.bor(STATE.DoS,STATE.VULN)] = 'VUNERABLE (DoS)',      [bit.bor(STATE.EXPLOIT,STATE.VULN)] = 'VULNERABLE (Exploitable)',    }
