Hi,

I've noticed in my system messages log that Wapiti is crashing repeatedly when 
running OpenVAS scans...
messages:Mar 25 13:40:00 openvas abrt: detected unhandled Python exception in 
'/usr/bin/wapiti'

The only Wapiti messages I see in the OpenVAS reports are like this:
"This plugin uses wapiti to find web security issues.
Make sure to have wapiti 2.x as wapiti 1.x is not supported.
See the preferences section for wapiti options.
Note that OpenVAS is using limited set of wapiti options. Therefore, for more 
complete web assessment, you should use standalone wapiti tool for 
deeper/customized checks.
Vulnerability Detection Result
wapiti report filename is empty. that could mean that
wrong version of wapiti is used or tmp dir is not accessible.
Make sure to have wapiti 2.x as wapiti 1.x is not supported.
In short: check installation of wapiti and OpenVAS "


Wapiti seems to work OK from the command line (I've got a scan going now), so 
I'm not sure why it's not working from OpenVAS.

Everything else in OpenVAS seems to be working correctly.

CentOS is 6.6, 64-bit
SELinux is in Permissive mode.

Wapiti & OpenVAS are installed from the Atomic YUM repo:
wapiti.noarch                              2.3.0-5.el6.art              @atomic

$ grep -i openvas yumlist
openvas.noarch                             1.0-15.el6.art               @atomic
openvas-cli.x86_64                         1.3.1-6.el6.art              @atomic
openvas-libraries.x86_64                   7.0.9-18.el6.art             @atomic
openvas-manager.x86_64                     5.0.9-28.el6.art             @atomic
openvas-scanner.x86_64                     4.0.6-19.el6.art             @atomic


Please let me know what other information I can provide, or tests I can run.

What is the command syntax for Wapiti that OpenVAS executes?

Thanks!
Barry
