Hi,
while scanning our network with openvas (http://www.openvas.org/index.de.html <http://www.openvas.org/index.de.html> ) we noticed after hitting our server on the amanda port (10080) that this causes a 100% cpu load on all cores.
After this, 5 amanda procsses are up and running.
We used the virtual machine image from openvas.org without any special tunning. Just enter the server ip and hit quick-start.
Only a kill of the amanda daemon solves the problem. Looks clearly like a bug/security issue as it renders the server almost unusable.
ii amanda-client 1:3.3.6-4.1 amd64 Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Client)
ii amanda-common 1:3.3.6-4.1 amd64 Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Libs)
root@host01:/home/user# more /etc/debian_version

Amanda is started via xinetd
root@host01:/home/user# more /etc/xinetd.d/amanda
service amanda
{
disable = no
flags = IPv4
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = backup
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}
Any help is greatly appreciated.
