Hi everyone !
I had a linux server running openvas actively for quite some time now and everything was working fine until now. My configuration is as follow:
Linux mint 18.3 Sylvia 64bits
Openvas 8 (scanner 5.0.7, manager 6.0.9)
Redis 2:3.0.6-1
Last week I was running a scanning campaign against several networks and everything went well until two days ago where I noticed my scans were stucked at various percentages, without progressing anymore.
Looking at both openvasmd and openvassd logsfiles gave me the following last messages:
openvasmd.log
md main:WARNING:2018-11-11 11h10.42 CET:6270: NVT ‘1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.140800’ not found. Result not created.
md main:WARNING:2018-11-11 11h10.46 CET:6270: NVT ‘1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.140800’ not found. Result not created.
openvassd.log
[Sun Nov 11 09:59:54 2018][20850] WARNING: Cannot connect to KB at ‘/var/run/redis/redis.sock’: Connection refused’
[Sun Nov 11 09:59:55 2018][6454] WARNING: Cannot connect to KB at ‘/var/run/redis/redis.sock’: Connection refused’
So I restarted redis, openvas scanner and openvas manager and then I cannot resume my tasks anymore. If I try to run a task via omp, it gets stuck forever…
I know that in the past similar problems were often due to a configuration issue with redis, so I checked that and my redis settings are correct. It’s socket-listening and my redis save settings are:
save 900 1
save 300 10
save 60 10000
So really everything looks fine. I tried to rebuild openvasmd database with --rebuild parameter, but here also openvasmd gets stuck forever.
So really, openvasmd seems unable to talk to openvassd processes anymore.
I would appreciate if any of you guys would have any clue on this, as I’m currently stucked into a quite important campaign for my network !
Thanks again
Vincent
