Gvm-tools for 22.4

Greenbone Enterprise
1

Used GSM version: 22.04.2
Hello, We have a GSM 400 appliance and we upgraded the appliance to 22.04 this morning. We use some home grown scripts to query it using the gvm-tools package.

Post upgrade to 22.04, we get this error:

ERROR:gvmtools.cli:Remote manager daemon uses an unsupported version of GMP. The GMP version was 22.4

Our gvm-tools package is gvm-cli 22.6.0 (API version 21.11.0) currently installed via the kali repo.

I see from GitHub - greenbone/gvm-tools: Remote control your Greenbone Community Edition or Greenbone Enterprise Appliance that there is a 22.9.0 version. I assume we need this update to still use GVM tools with our 22.4 base appliance. I attempted to update gvm-tools using:

python3 -m pip install --user gvm-tools

…this does not do anything, the gvm-tools package stays at 22.6.0.

What version do we want and what is the proper way to install that version?

Thanks.

Hi,

you should get gvm-tools 22.6.1 and python-gvm in version 22.8.0 with the latest GOS release. To fix this issue python-gvm >= 22.5.0 is required.

pip is not provided (and also shouldn’t be used at all) in a Greenbone Enterprise Appliance.

Hi

Remove the installed but outdated Kali package and install it via pip. Check your Python Path if the package is not recognized!

I’ve missed the line with the Kali package. First of all you should never ever install anything on a Greenbone Enterprise Appliance not provided by our Greenbone Operating System. You will loose your warranty! Therefore remove the installed Kali package and use the newest provided packages from the Greenbone OS. You don’t need a newer gvm-tools version. Just a newer python-gvm release.

Right. The install in question is in an auxiliary VM. We haven’t installed anything on the appliance itself that was not from greenbone.

Sorry - I see that was not clear on my original post.
