well, wait for it to appear. We run the SCAP update for the OpenVAS community
feed not on a daily basis as it would blow up our download service.

However, I doubt this is your current problem.
Can you provide a sample CVE where you oberserved this case?
I tried for CVE-2015-0051  and the CVE information is present in
my database.

If you like, you can check here for presence: https://secinfo.greenbone.net
If you don't find it there, then indeed a feed uptodateness issue is present.
If you find it there, but not in your OpenVAS, check the publication date.
If like for CVE-2015-0051 it is a very old one (from Feb 2015), then something
in your installation must be wrong about the updating as it should be in the
OpenVAS Feed since a long time.
