Bugs item #1239, was opened at 2010-01-13 04:58 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Leigh Purdie (redphoenix) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: openvas-client will terminate without scanning/reporting, in batch mode, after re-writing the configuration file. Architecture: 32 Bit Resolution: None Severity: normal Version: v2.0.2 Component: openvas-client Operating System: Linux Product: OpenVAS Hardware: All URL:
Initial Comment: Not certain at this stage, whether this is a bug, or merely something fundamental I have missed in the documentation, however, the same syntax worked nicely on an older version of openvas. To reproduce: * Create a password-authenticated user using openvas-adduser * echo "localhost" > /tmp/targetsystem * touch /tmp/OPENVASRC Copy a working openvasrc from a normal run from the openvas-client GUI * cp ~/.openvas/TASK/SCOPE/openvasrc /tmp/OPENVASRC) (where TASK and SCOPE are appropriate for your install) Now, attempt a batch-mode scan: * openvas-client -V -T xml -c /tmp/OPENVASRC -qx localhost 9390 USERNAME PASSWORD /tmp/targetsystem /tmp/output.xml The process will terminate fairly quickly, with the following line in /var/log/openvas/openvasd.messages: Stopping the whole test (requested by client) The OPENVASRC file will be overwritten by a new version. A hack to force openvas to work: * chown root: /tmp/OPENVASRC * chmod 444 /tmp/OPENVASRC * Run openvas as above, as a normal (non-root) user. An strace on that process indicates that openvas-client could not open /tmp/OPENVASRC in write-only mode, but the normal scan completes successfully. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://wald.intevation.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=220&aid=1239&group_id=29 _______________________________________________ Openvas-devel mailing list Openvas-devel@wald.intevation.org http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-devel
