William A. Kennington IIIac69b482021-06-02 12:28:27 -07001# This file contains a list of CVE's where resolution has proven to be impractical
2# or there is no reasonable action the Yocto Project can take to resolve the issue.
3# It contains all the information we are aware of about an issue and analysis about
4# why we believe it can't be fixed/handled. Additional information is welcome through
5# patches to the file.
6#
7# Include this file in your local.conf or distro.conf to exclude these CVE's
8# from the cve-check results or add to the bitbake command with:
9# -R conf/distro/include/cve-extra-exclusions.inc
10#
11# The file is not included by default since users should review this data to ensure
12# it matches their expectations and usage of the project.
13#
14# We may also include "in-flight" information about current/ongoing CVE work with
15# the aim of sharing that work and ensuring we don't duplicate it.

24# epiphany https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2005-0238
25# The issue here is spoofing of domain names using characters from other character sets.
26# There has been much discussion amongst the epiphany and webkit developers and
27# whilst there are improvements about how domains are handled and displayed to the user
28# there is unlikely ever to be a single fix to webkit or epiphany which addresses this
29# problem. Whitelisted as there isn't any mitigation or fix or way to progress this further
30# we can seem to take.

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

42# The encoding/xml package in go can potentially be used for security exploits if not used correctly
43# CVE applies to a netapp product as well as flagging a general issue. We don't ship anything
