An error occurred Remote manager daemon uses an unsupported version of GMP. The GMP version was 22.5

[montjoie]

With up to date python-gvm (python_gvm-24.1.0-py3-none-any.whl), I have:
An error occurred Remote manager daemon uses an unsupported version of GMP. The GMP version was 22.5
when doing
with Gmp(connection=connection, transform=transform) as gmp:
gmp.authenticate(username, password)

The running openvas is up to date using the official docker-compose.yml

Hi,

I am sorry but I am not able to reproduce your issue

mkdir -p /tmp/python-gvm-test
cd /tmp/python-gvm-test
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install python-gvm

pip list

from gvm.connections import UnixSocketConnection
from gvm.protocols.gmp import Gmp
from gvm.transforms import EtreeTransform
from gvm.xml import pretty_print

connection = UnixSocketConnection(path=sys.argv[1])
transform = EtreeTransform()

with Gmp(connection, transform=transform) as gmp:
    # Retrieve GMP version supported by the remote daemon
    version = gmp.get_version()

    # Prints the XML in beautiful form
    pretty_print(version)

python3 main.py /path/to/gvmd.sock

<get_version_response status="200" status_text="OK">
  <version>22.5</version>
</get_version_response>

If GMP 22.5 isn't supported the same error message would have been raised. Remote manager daemon uses an unsupported version of GMP. The GMP version was 22.5. See https://github.com/greenbone/python-gvm/blob/main/gvm/protocols/gmp.py#L95-L101 for the code.

If I understand correctly the code, the error is that the remote is 22.5

[bjoernricks]

The error is, the remote GMP version of gvmd is at 22.5 and your imported python-gvm version doesn't support 22.5.

But the current release of python-gvm (24.1.0) supports GMP 22.5 as my code example shows. Thus I suspect your python environment doesn't contain the latest release of python-gvm.

[bjoernricks]

To print the version of python-gvm in your current environment you can use the following snippet.

python3 -c "import gvm;print(gvm.get_version())"

[montjoie]

I got 23.5.1, but I dont understand why, it is a fresh docker and the pip install show:

[montjoie]

I found why, a docker volume was masking the install directory. Sorry

I am with the same error here:

My GVM are up-to-date (GVM-23.11.0) and my python-gvm are 24.3.0
Still getting this error :(

Im not using docker BTW

[bjoernricks]

If you have python-gvm >= 23.12.0 installed in the correct Python environment you have support for GMP 22.5

https://github.com/greenbone/python-gvm/releases/tag/v23.12.0
#1097
https://github.com/greenbone/python-gvm/blob/main/gvm/protocols/gmp.py#L95-L96

[YgorAlberto]

Thanks for the reply
So how do I see if my python-gvm are installed in the correct python environment?

So, i created the gmp.py file with the code you provided, and tried run the command again, and i got this other error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gvm-script", line 5, in
from gvmtools.script import main
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gvmtools/script.py", line 25, in

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gvm/protocols/gmp.py", line 17, in
from gvm.protocols.gmpv225 import Gmp as Gmpv225
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gvm.protocols.gmpv225'

I dont think just changing the code will fix the problem, do you have any other solution?

BTW...
I updated it for version 24.3.0 latest on, using normal user and root user, both are showing that my python-gvm are 24.3.0

My environment are the following
I have Kali Linux running GVM installed on it, not in container, and everything are updated.

##THE PROBLEM
I have the scan finished and ready to make the report.
So, for that, I use a script using a command like the following:

sudo -u _gvm gvm-script --gmp-username user --gmp-password "P@ss" socket --socketpath /var/run/gvmd/gvmd.sock /tmp/gen_report.py 15ce5f51-431f-445a-a4d3-b65dd1d0d61f /tmp/report.xml

This command will generate a XML that later I can use openvasreporting to generate the xlsx
