Vulnerability Scan task report contains mismatching data in the Application, Description and Vendor fields

Description

The Application, Description and Vendor fields of the Vulnerability Scan task report contain mismatching data.

Reason

If the versions of the applications installed on a host match, then the Vulnerability Scan task report may display incorrect data.

While the task is searching the registry, both the application name and version are taken into the account. First, the application name is found in the registry, then its version is searched for in the entire registry, regardless of the branches already found.

Thus in some cases Kaspersky Anti-Virus may find the application name in one registry branch and the application version in another branch (not matching the first one).

Therefore the report fields may contain data for different applications (from different registry branches).

This will be fixed in later versions of the application.
