# This file contains a list of CVE's where resolution has proven to be impractical # or there is no reasonable action the Yocto Project can take to resolve the issue. # It contains all the information we are aware of about an issue and analysis about # why we believe it can't be fixed/handled. Additional information is welcome through # patches to the file. # # Include this file in your local.conf or distro.conf to exclude these CVE's # from the cve-check results or add to the bitbake command with: # -R conf/distro/include/cve-extra-exclusions.inc # # The file is not included by default since users should review this data to ensure # it matches their expectations and usage of the project. # # We may also include "in-flight" information about current/ongoing CVE work with # the aim of sharing that work and ensuring we don't duplicate it. # # strace https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2000-0006 # CVE is more than 20 years old with no resolution evident # broken links in CVE database references make resolution impractical CVE_CHECK_WHITELIST += "CVE-2000-0006" # epiphany https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2005-0238 # The issue here is spoofing of domain names using characters from other character sets. # There has been much discussion amongst the epiphany and webkit developers and # whilst there are improvements about how domains are handled and displayed to the user # there is unlikely ever to be a single fix to webkit or epiphany which addresses this # problem. Whitelisted as there isn't any mitigation or fix or way to progress this further # we can seem to take.
