| Summary | 0003725: Metasploit launcher icon starts database and msfconsole in parallel rather than sequentially | ||||
| Description | The Metasploit .desktop launcher has a typo where it accidentally starts msfdb in parallel with msfconsole, leading to a parallel database migration that randomly throws errors depending on the timing of the two commands | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | From a a clean install, or after having run 'msfdb delete', click the default Metasploit desktop launcher icon. The database should start being created, then framework will start and a random set of backtraces will appear. | ||||
| Additional Information | This is a bug in the kali-msfconsole.desktop launcher. It has: Exec=sh -c "service postgresql start && msfdb init & msfconsole;${SHELL:-bash}" This should be written instead as: Exec=sh -c "service postgresql start && msfdb init && msfconsole;${SHELL:-bash}" | ||||
