According to Repology, the current upstream release is 8.0.1. Please bump.
This component is part of GVM (previously named OpenVAS) set. Should be bumped together with other gvm components. Cannot bump alone. I have already bumped whole gvm set but it needs direct dev attention for package removals & masks etc. https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/12693 @Juippis
