Hi,

since we have added passwords in the list of passwords test by
default_ssh_credentials.nasl,
we discovered a bug with the use of this plugin

in our case,  it fills the 1024 entries of the connections [1] table
declare in misc/network.c file

causing message : Out of OpenVAS file descriptors  and the end of the
plugin

We trace and see that  get_connection_fd [2] is called by
open_stream_connection_ext [3]  to fills the connections [1]table

We check value in the table and see it contains 1024 time the pid
15703, the one of the plugin :

 2011/default_ssh_credentials.nasl (process 15703) finished its job in
2189.020 seconds

and at the end the most important, we see the release_connection_fd
[4]  fonction is never called :-( for this specific plugin .

Can you help to fix ?
we don't know if  problems come from the library or from the plugin


Thanks for spotting this. Indeed, the issue is in openvas libraries.

I fixed the issue in trunk and backported it to openvas 8 branch.

Best regards,

Hani.
