Bad xml in nvts?

[asmaack]

Hi,

Not sure if this should be reported here, but when querying nvt data over socket with tools gvm-cli and gvm-pyshell, I get errors which I suspect are caused by bad xml in nvt data. Am I right, or is there something missing in my environment?

NB this only happens when querying some nvts from some of the IT-Grundschutz-* families.

$ gvm-cli socket -c --xml "<get_nvts nvt_oid=\"1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.94018\" details=\"1\" />"
'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1023: unexpected end of data

And inside the gvm-pyshell, I get:

$ gvm-pyshell socket -c -i
badnvt = gmp.get_nvts(nvt_oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.94018", details="1")
Traceback (most recent call last):

Could you please report both issues to https://github.com/greenbone/gvm-tools? Both issues should be bugs in gvm-tools.
