Re: [Openvas-discuss] SCAP / CERT Databases missing

Dear Thijs,

thank you for reaching back.
I am sorry for the missing field on WebGUI,
i have currently no OpenVAS installation at hand to try out.
We go an alternate way for this later.


Here is a guide, that covers the recreation of a clean CERT DB:
----------------------------------------------------------------

Please run the following commands as root user:

service openvas-manager stop
mkdir /var/lib/openvas/cert-data/bak
mv /var/lib/openvas/cert-data/cert.db /var/lib/openvas/cert-data/bak/
mv /var/lib/openvas/cert-data/timestamp* /var/lib/openvas/cert-data/bak/
service openvas-manager start

Now we would need to trigger a Feedsync. By that, a new cert.db file(and the timestamp files) will be created.

(please check with: ' ls -lah /var/lib/openvas/cert-data/cert.db ')

Please asure the feedsync has completed before taking next steps!

After the Feedsync has completed, please run the following commands,preferable via copy&paste:


chmod 640 /var/lib/openvas/cert-data/cert.db
sqlite3 /var/lib/openvas/cert-data/cert.db 'PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL'

Now reboot the machine and see if the problem has solved.
If so, we would next go and remove the ../bak folder like this:

cd /var/lib/openvas/cert-data
rm -r bak

Explanation:

Withing this guide, we backup the current state, and remove the db fromit's original location.The scanner will then think he has this db missing and therefore createsa new one. This process is triggeredby running a feedupdate. With a newly created certs.db the problemshould be gone.


Cheers,
Michael.

Feed status:

Right now I am only missing the CERT information, haven’t tried to
get it working any further since my last email on it.

I only update before I start montlhy scans so it might be a bit behind
at the moment.

Btw, “you can also manually trigger these updates via WebGUI
(available under "Administration", where you also add users, create
groups, roles, etc.).”, under Administration I only see the options
Users, Groups, Roles, LDAP and Radius.

Onderwerp: Re: [Openvas-discuss] SCAP / CERT Databases missing

Hello,

could you guys please cd into these directories:

/var/lib/openvas/cert-data/

/var/lib/openvas/scap-data/

..and do an 'ls -lah' in there each. Please log the output and send it
over within your next message.

The SCAP and CERT Databases however, are rewritten at feed sync stage,
you can also manually trigger these updates via WebGUI (available
under "Administration", where you also add users, create groups,
roles, etc.).

Each SCAP and CERT have an entry there, with a Button that allows
manually syncing. But before syncing, i would suggest to capture the
'ls -lah' output and send it over to us.

Cheers,

Michael.

Panos,

Nope!

I recently went from 8 to 9 and also had issues with the SCAP and

CERT

database errors.

Turned out the scripts wanted to change my database but had no

rights

to make the changes .. I eventually fixed that and got rid of the

errors but I do not see any data.

To be honest I gave up for now, not sure if missing it really makes

big deal for me. (what am I missing really? Someone let me know if I

should care)

ONDERWERP: [Openvas-discuss] SCAP / CERT Databases missing

Dear All,

I have latest versions of kali (4.9.0) and OpenVas (9.0) on a USB

stick with persistence.

Everything is setup and running, EXCEPT the fact that I get a

warning

in GSA that SCAP or CERT databases are empty. Followed the

instructions for the corresponding feed syncs, but no change

whatsoever…

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Panos
