NVD entries for the Linux kernel are almost always outdated. For example, https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-1065 is shown as matched for "versions up to (including) 4.15.7", however the patch 57ebd808a97d has been back ported for 4.14. By default, it checks NVD Resource entries for the patch URLs and looks for the commits in the local GIT tree. Additionaly ("--resource") it checks other resources, that may have up-to-date CVE data. You can combine resources and decide which one you want to be based on. Signed-off-by: grygorii tertychnyi <gtertych@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Armin Kuster <akuster808@gmail.com>
Meta-security
=============
This layer provides security tools, hardening tools for Linux kernels
and libraries for implementing security mechanisms.
Dependencies
============
This layer depends on:
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
branch: master
revision: HEAD
prio: default
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/meta-oe
branch: master
revision: HEAD
prio: default
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/meta-perl
branch: master
revision: HEAD
prio: default
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/meta-networking
branch: master
revision: HEAD
prio: default
Adding the security layer to your build
========================================
In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of
it.
Assuming the security layer exists at the top-level of your
yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the
location of the security layer to bblayers.conf, along with any
other layers needed. e.g.:
BBLAYERS ?= " \
/path/to/oe-core/meta \
/path/to/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
/path/to/meta-openembedded/meta-perl \
/path/to/meta-openembedded/meta-python \
/path/to/meta-openembedded/meta-networking \
/path/to/layer/meta-security \
Maintenance
-----------
Send pull requests, patches, comments or questions to yocto@yoctoproject.org
When sending single patches, please using something like:
'git send-email -1 --to yocto@yoctoproject.org --subject-prefix=meta-security][PATCH'
These values can be set as defaults for this repository:
$ git config sendemail.to yocto@yoctoproject.org
$ git config format.subjectPrefix meta-security][PATCH
Now you can just do 'git send-email origin/master' to send all local patches.
