Hi,
while hunting for some other problem I noticed that for plugins which
use get_kb_item() for a multi-valued key (e.g. Services/www), there
seems to be a hardcoded 120 second timeout in plug_get_key():
if(!(pid = fork()))
{
/* so that different plugins do not use the same seed */
srand48(getpid() + getppid() + time(NULL));
sig_term(_exit);
sig_alarm(_exit);
alarm(120);
Two questions:
1) Should this not use the plugin timeout from nessus.rc?
2) AFAICS, these forked processes are not counted against the max.
number of concurrent processes. Is this a correct observation?
so long
Norbert
