Subject: [PATCH 4/7] procps: whitelist CVE-2018-1121
Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2019 22:54:13 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191110145416.5171-5-anuj.mittal@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191110145416.5171-1-anuj.mittal@intel.com>

From: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com>

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.
