| Summary | 0009840: Kali Linux + OpenVAS not working - crashes | ||||
| Description | Hello, This is my first entry; please pardon if I am incomplete. As documented in https://forum.greenbone.net/t/kali-scans-fail-at-0-vas-23-45-1-gvm-libs-22-41-0/22473/5 we see that a fully updated Kali environment └─# uname -a has a problem with OpenVAS ┌──(root㉿openvas-arf)-[~] When OpenVAS starts to run, some python errors are generated, and the whole process terminates. A member of the Greenbone Team said that the upstream issue should be repaired, and that the repositories need an update. His words: The issue stems from a Python 3.14 compatibility bug in ospd-openvas/OSPd multiprocessing due to a change in Python 3.14/Linux, where multiprocessing now defaults to forkserver instead of fork. forkserver requires the Process target to be pickleable. He suggested that a bug report be sent; that brought me to your website. As it is all laid out in https://forum.greenbone.net/t/kali-scans-fail-at-0-vas-23-45-1-gvm-libs-22-41-0/22473/5 please let me know if you need more details. Thank you. | ||||

I have uploaded ospd-openvas version 22.10.5-1 in kali-rolling. It fixes this issue. I will update the other packages of gvm* too. |

Hello, |

Hello, I updated two independent machines, and both are working properly. Thank you for repairing the issue, and not sure if I can mark it closed, or if an admin can, but all is well from my end. Christian |
