Hi,

I'm using the latest community edition of greenbone and have discovered that my FIPS compliant hosts are being reported as having vulnerabilities due to the scanner not interpreting the fips in the package names. For Example:

Detection Result
Vulnerable package:   openssl
Installed version:    openssl-1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.fips.18
Fixed version:      >=openssl-1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.15

I posted a question on the community board about this and they asked me to open an issue with you.

Let me know if you need more information

Cheers

Mark Guz
