Subject: Introduce a cpe-vendor package property?
Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2024 15:33:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87msise285.fsf@ngraves.fr> (raw)


Hi Guix,

As you've certainly noticed, I'm currently supplying some security
patches by checking every package that is linted on the cve checker.

I have a WIP patch series about adding lint-hidden-cve property to
packages where it is relevant.  While doing it, I noticed that there are
quite some packages with duplicated cpe-names (a few examples : xenon,
bolt, express, halibut, folders, portfolio...) in the NIST database.
I was wondering about handling a cpe-vendor property to handle such
cases, since cpe-name won't help here.

To note: Most of the time, this won't help and we'll still have to fill
hidden-lint-cve (since most of these packages have no CVEs and therefore
are not in the database at all, despite having similarly-named
packages).

-- 
Best regards,
Nicolas Graves
