The newest version of openvas-scanner is 23.4.1. Upgrading depends on your install method.

I am having the same issue on kali using apt-get.

Any update on when the upgrade will be available?

Greenbone is not providing or maintaining the Kali Linux packages and thus has no knowledge on the status / availability of these.

Please contact the Kali Linux package team / maintainer (via the known Kali Linux support channels) about if/when/how new package versions will be available.

A relevant note on this is also available in the VT in question / doing the reporting:

Possible solution options depends on the installation method:

  • If using the Greenbone Enterprise TRIAL: Please do a new installation with the newest available version
  • If using the official Greenbone Community Containers: Please see the references on how to do an update of these
  • If the Greenbone Community Edition was build from sources by following the official source build documentation: Please see the references on how to do an update of all components
  • If using packages provided by your Linux distribution: Please contact the maintainer of the used distribution / repository and request updated packages
  • If using any other installation method: Please contact the provider of this solution
