# 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.

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. There isn't any mitigation or fix or way to progress this further."

Issue is memory exhaustion via glob() calls, e.g. from within an ftp server \
Best discussion in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681681 \
Upstream don't see it as a security issue, ftp servers shouldn't be passing \
this to libc glob. Upstream have no plans to add BSD's GLOB_LIMIT or similar."

# Kernel CVEs that are generic but can't be added to the kernel's hand-maintained cve-exclusion.inc
# or machine-maintained cve-exclusion_VERSION.inc files, such as issues that describe TCP/IP design
# flaws or processor-specific exploits that can't be mitigated.
#
# For OE-Core our policy is to stay as close to the kernel stable releases as we can. This should
# ensure the bulk of the major kernel CVEs are fixed and we don't dive into each individual issue
# as the stable maintainers are much more able to do that.
