Re: [oniro-dev] CVE status for 2.0

I reckon this is the only feasible way forward at this point. That means having a CVE report section in release notes and handle them as part of the maintenance process.

I think we can only align with YP which is a bigger project (for now) than Oniro and if they gave up, I don’t think we’ll stand a chance as things stand to do any better.

We want to capture decision and release status when it comes to CVEs in our release note – meaning – ideally we would have a pointer to this sheet hosted somewhere with known / open / addressed CVEs present in what we’ll tag as 2.0.

Basically 171 issues with high severity as defined in https://docs.oniroproject.org/en/latest/security/cve_policy.html

 

Most are due to incomplete database data/obscure kernel subsystems. I've hand reviewed some and it is confirmed. However, just fixing database is a big work.

YP gave up on that for the kernel.

An excel sheet was attached … I am reviewing it now.

Since we are aware of the issues, we ought to try to fix the most sever ones – do we have the breakdown and know how many CVEs per CVSS severity class do we have?

 

Thanks

Dear all,

I have first results of CVE checks for the upcoming 2.0. For simplification, you have the details from the qemu x86-64 image (rootfs only, excluding SDK).

 

With the database of yesterday, we have 378 issues. Out of that:

4 at or above CVSSv3 9.0 (curl, libpam, 2xlinux)

122 at or above CVSSv3 7.5 (including the openssl issue that made the news, expat, python, dropbear)

 

Apart from the Linux kernel, most should go away with a kirkstone update.

 

The question is if we release like that or we spend time to fix issues above certain CVSS (like 9.0 or 8.0)?

 

Kind regards,

Marta
