Ran a scan against a /24 network last night and woke up to OpenVAS dead, an
empty openvassd dump file in /var/log/openvas and the following error in
openvasmd.log:

md manage:WARNING:2018-05-14 11h45.15 utc:23539: sql_exec_internal:
sqlite3_step failed: cannot start a transaction within a transaction
md manage:WARNING:2018-05-14 11h45.15 utc:23539: sqlv: sql_exec_internal
failed
md manage:WARNING:2018-05-14 11h45.15 utc:23539: manage_schedule:
manage_update_nvti_cache error

Platform is an odroid-c2 (arm64), 4 cores, 2GB RAM, running Kali 2018.2
with current updates. A bit of research seems to indicate a thread was
started that attempted to start another sqlite transaction while one
(possibly the scan?) was running.

Is it possible having a scan running on the 4 cores available conflicted
with some internal manager thread? What starts manage_update_nvti_cache()?
Based on the code here:
http://www.openvas.org/src-doc/openvas-manager/manage__sql_8c_source.html#l13388
it seems like the immediate giveup there is being hit, not sure why
openvassd would core out as a result.

any help would be appreciated, thanks.
