GVM-11; Scan task hangs at 99% again

Hello,

Using gvm-11 (stable branch), I sadly notice the issue we already encountered with gvm-9 where tasks hangs at 99% happens with this version as well.

Scan worked fine up to a point where the following error is logged in gvmd.log:

lib   xml:MESSAGE:2020-03-14 03h56.15 UTC:19586:    Error: Error on line 1: Entity did not end with a semicolon; most likely you used an ampersand character without intending to start an entity - escape ampersand as &
md manage:WARNING:2020-03-14 03h56.15 UTC:19586: Couldn't parse <scan id="d38da29e-d3ec-4f0c-b2d2-8ab53b9c898f" end_time="0" status="running" progress="99.99128755632226" target="10.179.216.0/24,...." start_time="1584025432"><results><result hostname=" " type="Error Message" name="ZeroCMS Privilege Escalation & SQL Injection Vulnerabilities" test_id="" host="10.179.233.212" port="general/tcp" severity="" qod="">NVT timed out after 320 seconds.</result><result hostname=" " type="Error Message" name="ZeroCMS Privilege Escalation & SQL Injection Vulnerabilities" test_id="" host="10.179.233.212" port="general/tcp" severity="" qod="">NVT timed out after 320 seconds.</result></results></scan> OSP scan report

From this point there is no more gvm/openvas activity, and nothing else is logged, appart from:

2020-03-17 16:29:27,768 OSPD - openvas: INFO: (ospd.ospd) Returning 0 results
2020-03-17 16:29:27,784 OSPD - openvas: DEBUG: (ospd.server) New connection from /opt/gvm/var/run/ospd.sock

Can anyone help decrypting the error message upon ?

Thanks

I guess this is related to the following posting:

I’ve you are using a self build of GVM 11 you could try the latest versions of osp and ospd-openvas from the release branches where this issue should be fixed already.

I’m trying that now. I’ve recompiled all latest release branches for gvmd / gvm-libs / openvas / ospd / ospd-openvas.Let’s see if it completes now.

I confirm using the latest release branche fixe the problem. Scan has finished normally. Thanks
