Yes, that makes the problem go away, but my bigger concern is that
hung scripts are not terminated on OpenVAS 8 based on the
plugins_timeout value.
I tried (using the original script) with 2 other instances of OpenVAS
7, and they both timed out after 320 seconds, which is what I would
expect given the "plugins_timeout" value. I don't know why I got 120
seconds before.
The attached .c file demonstrates this. Just build and run it on
your target and run a full and fast scan. (Restart after each scan
--
it doesn't reap its zombies). It simulates the behavior of the
service that confused the script (a port used by Logitech Media
Server).
Nice find. I fixed the issue in trunk and backported it to openvas 8
branch, so it should be available with the next maintenance release.
Best regards,
Hani.
