I couldn’t find anything on that error, but gvmd is currently at 21.4.4
so you’ll want to check that the components are up to date here: New releases for GVM 20.08 and GVM 21.04
Thank you for the reply! will try to upgrade it and test it.
It seems to get stuck when running nmap.nasl, and particularly in here. It complains that there are no available running processes. Could you explain please what these running processes are and how many?
Is there any dependency on nmap version for the openvas 21.04? We are currently using nmap v7.80.
You’re welcome and for the first question, I don’t know what the running processes are or how many, but if one of the developers sees this perhaps they can explain it.
For the second question- yep the versions make a difference so you can try updating nmap to current (v7.90 as of this post) to see if that helps.
I have upgraded all openvas components based on the suggested releases, but the problem still remains.
I have also upgraded nmap to v7.90, no luck there too.
It seems that openvas, when running nmap.nasl (plugin), it is caught in a loop in which loads of warning messages are emitted in the openvas.log and the server runs out of disk space after a while.
a) Has anyone noticed any strange behavior recently when running nmap?
b) Is it possible to somehow throttle these warning messages?
