CSSD crashes

CSSD crashes

We have a SG135 with SW-Version 9.405-5
Since yesterday the Astaro Virus Scanner Daemon (cssd) is crashing 2-3 times a day.
And leaving a 4GB core dump which fills the data partition.
I'm not sure, but inspecting /var/log/*.log, crashes seem to appear after Pattern update.

That's ok. But now Systems dumps the cssd process. Takes some time.

System recognizes missing process and restarts cssd...

... but /var/storage/cores/cssd.[PID] remains (4GB)

Any suggestions?
Thanks, Björn

  • Hi and Welcome to Sophos Community,

    The issue is caused due to an improper update of the SAVI patterns, you can execute the below command to force an update.

    audld.plx --nosys --types=savi --nopatchup2date

    Finally, CSSD requires empty space in /tmp directory at the start up time. Verify if the directory has the required space.

    Thanks
