False positive in frontpage_chunked_overflow.nasl

Plugin frontpage_chunked_overflow.nasl (version 1.18) reports a false
positive if the IIS web server is configured not to return 404.

The following patch fixes the issue:

Thanks for this and the report about ssh1_proto_enabled.nasl. We've
committed changes to both plugins, which should become available
through the plugin feed shortly.
