Remote manager daemon uses an unsupported version of GMP. The GMP version was 22.6

Openvas is such a great tool that everytime I run some or other Error. Great!.

I just deleted all containers and pulled everything from scratch using Greenbone Community Containers - Greenbone Community Documentation

and installed gvm-tools using sudo pip3 install gvm-tools==24.6.0

and checked if Openvas working or not using below code:

gvm-cli --timeout 600 --gmp-username admin --gmp-password admin socket --socketpath /usr/local/lib/gvm/gvmd/gvmd.sock --xml "<get_version/>"

  • I dont know that am I only one who is facing this weird issue or openvas community keeps chaning code and introducing new bugs everytime.

The gvmd version is

  • If i use docker gvm-tools that got shipped with containers
gvm@82fdabc46984:/gvm-tools$ gvm-cli -V
gvm-cli 25.3.0 (API version 26.1.0)

  • But the one installed via pip3, the version is gvm-cli 25.3.0 (API version 24.8.0)
    Clearly there is a mismatch ,

  • What exactly should i pull to get proper API version.

You need at least API version 26.0.0 (Release python-gvm 26.0.0 · greenbone/python-gvm · GitHub)

And if you use the community containers there is an easier solution to use gvm-tools.

@bricks Thanks for help.

For anyone who wants to know how to run gvm-tools container in bacground and use gvm-cli:

The command:

docker exec -u gvm greenbone-community-edition-gvm-tools-1 gvm-cli --timeout 600 --gmp-username admin --gmp-password admin socket --socketpath /run/gvmd/gvmd.sock --xml "<get_version/>"

and the update to docker compose file (make sure to mount /run/gvmd properly)

 gvm-tools:
    image: registry.community.greenbone.net/community/gvm-tools
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /usr/local/lib/gvm/gvmd:/run/gvmd
      - ospd_openvas_socket_vol:/run/ospd
    depends_on:
      - gvmd
      - ospd-openvas
    command: sleep infinity
