Sound Solutions, Inc. 8400 Highland Dr. Wausau, WI 54401 Tel: 715-842-7665 Fax: 715-842-7620 Mine did the same thing on 10.10 , and I tried to get the libmicrohttpd 915 fix to work...but it kept barking about SSL and would only work in http mode...so I figured I should try again.
When I did my intall this time...here's what I did from the start and it seems to work great (note...all done as root): apt-get -y install python-software-properties build-essential uuid-dev cmake libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev htmldoc libgnutls-dev libpcap0.8-dev bison libgpgme11-dev libsmbclient-dev snmp pnscan libxslt1-dev libmicrohttpd-dev doxygen doxygen-gui sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev add-apt-repository "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/OpenVAS:/STABLE:/v4/ xUbuntu_10.10/ <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/OpenVAS:/STABLE:/v4 /xUbuntu_10.10/> ./" apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys BED1E87979EAFD54 use winscpe.exe to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the deb-src entry in /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update Download the libmicrohttpd_0.9.15 tar -zxvf libmicrohttpd_0.9.15.orig.tar.gz cd libmicrohttpd_0.9.15 ./configure make make install Step 2: Quick-Install OpenVAS apt-get -y install greenbone-security-assistant gsd openvas-cli openvas-manager openvas-scanner openvas-administrator sqlite3 xsltproc texlive-latex-base texinfo tex-common texlive texlive-latex-extra ntpdate htop Step 3: Quick-Start OpenVAS test -e /var/lib/openvas/CA/cacert.pem || sudo openvas-mkcert -q openvas-nvt-sync test -e /var/lib/openvas/users/om || sudo openvas-mkcert-client -n om -i /etc/init.d/openvas-manager stop /etc/init.d/openvas-scanner stop openvassd touch /var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db openvasmd --migrate openvasmd --rebuild killall openvassd edit /etc/defaults/greenbone-security-assistant and change the GSA address from 127.0.0.1 to the IP address of your machine....so you can hit GSA from any web browser on any machine /etc/init.d/openvas-scanner start /etc/init.d/openvas-manager start /etc/init.d/openvas-administrator start /etc/init.d/greenbone-security-assistant start test -e /var/lib/openvas/users/admin || sudo openvasad -c add_user -n admin -r Admin enter your password I think the key to this is having the libmicrohttpd0915 installed first...then it seems to be happy.

Whenever I try to login using the web gui the gsad process starts using 99% cpu and login never succeeds. There are times when I cant even get the login page and the process begins to climb without showing me a login prompt. I tried searching for a solution and everything said it was a bug in libmicrohttpd but that was referring to an old version. I tried compiling an old version of libmicrohttpd (0.9.15) and it appeared to resolve it temporarily but the problem came back after I restarted the services. I attached to the process with strace but was not able to retrieve anything meaningful. I'm running the following: openvas 3.2.5-1 openvas-manager 2.0.4-1 openvas-cli 1.1.4-1 openvas-administrator 1.1.2-1 libmicrohttpd 0.9.19.1 Ubuntu 11.10 This only happens when running the gsad with SSL. If I run the service manually with --http-only, the application responds correctly and the process does not run away. Any help would be great... I am very interested in resolving this issue for other users. Thank you!
