I tried adding hosts with following pattern in hosts:
10.10.0.0/24, 10.10.1.0/24 – scans only first subnet
host1.fqdn.com, host2.fqdn.com - scans only first host
Am I doing something wrong or this is a bug?
I trust you’ve understood that the hosts will be scanned incrementally, rather than all at the same time.

Well the job finishes and report has only 1st defined host. I am in no rush when I trigger the scan but I would expect both defined objects would be processed which is not happening.
Yeah, it works pretty well — I’ve been using it for years. Since you’re on RHEL, though, I’d suggest starting with Kali Linux packages and seeing how that goes. RHEL needs so many hacks and workarounds just to compile the thing that I’m not entirely convinced it’ll actually work as expected afterward

The issue is most likely caused by buggy libraries in RHEL 9, which is already a fairly old operating system. You can try migrating it to Rocky Linux 10 using my script and see whether the problem still occurs there.

Since there was still time available, I performed an additional validation of OpenVAS on Rocky Linux 9. While I remain somewhat skeptical of this platform choice due to its dependency on older libraries, the testing results were positive. Scan tasks ran successfully using the target parameters 127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2, confirming that no issues were observed in the scanning functionality. PDF report generation was also verified and worked as expected.

Great news! Is there a script to install everything?
@dreic yes:
requirement: base rocky 9 image. working sudo. installs everything including working pdf support

Thank you very much!
Additionally, I enabled OpenVAS SMB support. Although this configuration is not officially supported, I was able to make it work by applying extensive modifications to the RHEL platform.
