OpenVAS Scanner, OpenVAS Manager and OpenVAS Administrator use
GNU/TLS for the service protocols OTP, OMP, OAP. For libraries like
microhttpd it depends on your environment to which ssl lib you linked it.
OpenSSL is often the default. For Greenbone OS we build libmhd with
GNU/TLS, not with OpenSSL. So the GSA (https) is not affected (btw, Greenbone
OS as a whole is not affected by this security problem).

So it depends a bit on your setup.
Some people use stunnel for port 443 to the local http port of GSA
which might isolate the problem, but again depending on the setup.
