Same problem, Tasks crash at 98% only for Windows hosts. It seems a problem with notus (404 not found for Windows_2022)

Making a note here that I moved this topic to it’s own thread because the other topic was already closed.

Hi @ologo ,

thanks for reporting this. Could you provide some information about the feed version you are using, and let me know please if it still happens after updating the feed.

I found an issue I think it is the same one you have and the patch comes soon.

github.com/greenbone/openvas-scanner

Fix: segmentation fault when calling rs-notus

main ← fix-notus

**What**: The current patch fixes an issue that produced a segmentation fault… when the notus response didn't have advisories. Also, fix a leak. Jira: SC-1529 **Why**: Missing null check before accessing a pointer. **How**: This issue is only reproducible using an outdated feed which still runs a table driven lsc, with a openvas-scanner version >= 23.34.0 **Checklist**: - [ ] Tests - [ ] PR merge commit message adjusted

Even better if you can try the patch still with the old feed (if it is the case)

Regards.
