Hi, I marked the main bug task as Fix Released as this is fixed in >= Hirsute, at least according to the packages versions. I tried to reproduce the bug on Focal but as Sergio and Lucas I wasn't able to. Without a reproducer it's difficult for us to assess the importance of the bug and verify the fix, which are requirements for doing a stable release upgrade [1].

Simply uploading nmap 7.91 to Focal is not an option as that's not how upgrades to stable releases are managed, see again [1]. The TLDR is that we need a minimal, targeted fix. Commit [2] may be it, but I don't see it fitting the SRU requirements without a reproducer. If you're able to provide some step to reproduce the issue we'll certainly consider releasing a fix. Waiting for those I'll mark the Focal task as Incomplete.
