looks like this string is sent if a NVT is calling the "end_denial()"
function defined here:

https://github.com/greenbone/gvm-libs/blob/v8.0.10/nasl/nasl_misc_funcs.c#L291

Currently only NVTs launched in the "Ultimate" scan configs or in own
defined scan configurations with disabled safe checks are calling this
function.

If hosts, especially printers are scanned with such scan configs
side-effects like this (or even worse like killed hosts) can happen at
any time.

Regards,
