Summary0008729: Fresh Kali install, gvm (OpenVas) has 2 service start failures
Description

Hi,

I hope this is the correct location to report this.

I have had problems with GVM / OpenVAS on fresh installs of Kali and Kali Purple ISOs 2024.1. After completing the initial setup for gvm, I complete a 'gvm-check-setup' to ensure everything is installed properly. Lately, it fails during the setup check because it cannot start 'ospd-openvas.service' and 'notus-scanner.service.' The root cause for this appears to be related to 2 python files returning this error :
AttributeError: 'MQTTClient' object has no attribute '_sock'

Installation:
sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
sudo apt install gvm

sudo gvm-setup
sudo gvm-check-setup

ospd jorunelctl error output:

I found a thread on freebsd.org which fixed this issue:

./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ospd_openvas/messaging/mqtt.py
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=249565&amp;action=edit

diff

  • super().init(client_id=client_id, protocol=mqtt.MQTTv5)
  • super().init(mqtt.CallbackAPIVersion.VERSION1, client_id=client_id, protocol=mqtt.MQTTv5)

./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/notus/scanner/messaging/mqtt.py
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=249564&amp;action=edit

diff

  • super().init(client_id=client_id, protocol=mqtt.MQTTv5)
  • super().init(mqtt.CallbackAPIVersion.VERSION1, client_id=client_id, protocol=mqtt.MQTTv5).

Once those have been updated, run:
sudo gvm-stop
sudo gvm-check-setup

This should then complete the setup checks without issue.

Thanks

Hi,
same problem here with an installation that has been in use for a long time, after updating python3-paho-mqtt. The freebsd.org solution described above also solved the problem for me.

solved.

git clone https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.python
compile

cd paho.mqtt.python
pip install -e .

cd src
cd paho

cd mqtt

sudo cp client.py /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py

then

sudo service openvas start

and then

sudo gvm-check-setup

@apizsh You could have just installed python3-paho-mqtt, which is available in Kali repositories: https://pkg.kali.org/pkg/python-paho-mqtt

The gvm package comes from Debian Upstream, which has the following debian/rules file: https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-security-team/gvm/-/blob/debian/master/debian/control?ref_type=heads

There are 2 options:

  • Either get the Debian maintainers to add this dependency to the package
  • Either get the Debian maintainers to apply a patch that would have the fix @mkz wrote

Thanks for the report.

This is an issue with the new release of paho-mqtt. https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.python/issues/814

I have imported the upstream patch https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.python/commit/5c77540e75d86e69a6cc78ada460f857345dd535

The version 2.0.0-1kali1 should fix the issue. It will be available soon in kali-dev.
