Known Issues in |yocto-ver|

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
- The :ref:`ref-classes-cve-check` class is based on the `National
|
||||
Vulnerability Database <https://nvd.nist.gov/>`__ (NVD). Since the beginning
|
||||
of 2024, the maintainers of this database have stopped annotating CVEs with
|
||||
the affected CPEs. This prevents the :ref:`ref-classes-cve-check` class to
|
||||
properly report CVEs as CPEs are used to match Yocto recipes with CVEs
|
||||
affecting them. As a result, the current CVE reports may look good but the
|
||||
reality is that some vulnerabilities are just not reported.
|
||||
|
||||
During that time, users may look up the 'CVE database
|
||||
<https://www.cve.org/>'__ for entries concerning software they use, or follow
|
||||
release notes of such projects closely.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note, that the :ref:`ref-classes-cve-check` tool has always been a
|
||||
helper tool, and users are advised to always review the final result. Results
|
||||
of an automatic scan may not take into account configuration options,
|
||||
compiler options and other factors.
