From: Ross Burton Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2019 21:38:11 +0000 (+0200) Subject: procps: whitelist CVE-2018-1121 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=16b98e759a33d9f20e5b40aa1cff5b1c27dbee9d;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core-contrib.git procps: whitelist CVE-2018-1121 This CVE is about race conditions in 'ps' which make it unsuitable for security audits. As these race conditions are unavoidable ps shouldn't be used for security auditing, so this isn't a valid CVE.
