Hi Yves,

Hi,

I'm using OpenVAS on a OpenVZ host.

So, i have :

venet0    inet addr:127.0.0.1
venet0:0    inet addr:PUBLIC_IP

I cannot set the PUBLIC_IP on the venet0 !

So the scanner is launching with :

openvassd --listen=127.0.0.1 -S PUBLIC_IP

But when I start the scan, I have a message :
The remote host (ANOTHER_PUBLIC_IP) is dead

And this is what tcpdump says :

21:48:25.248488 IP 127.0.0.1.49701 > ANOTHER_PUBLIC_IP.ftp: Flags [.],
ack 4171032861, win 2048, length 0
21:48:25.248515 IP 127.0.0.1.49701 > ANOTHER_PUBLIC_IP.telnet: Flags

21:48:25.248528 IP 127.0.0.1.49701 > ANOTHER_PUBLIC_IP.http: Flags [.],
ack 4171032861, win 2048, length 0

So, the IP source is ... localhost and not the PUBLIC_IP of the -S flag.

What's the problem ?

Thanks ...


Thanks for reporting this. That generated traffic is from Nmap I believe. I have pushed an update to "Nmap (NASL wrapper)" nvt in revision 18076 which adds "Source IP :" nvt preference. Could you test setting the interface IP in that preference too and report back ?

On a related note, nmap 5.21 is too old. There were some bug fixes related to matching routes to interfaces, IIRC. Maybe confirm with a manual nmap scan ?

Thanks

Hani.
