Subject: [OE-core][PATCH v2] apt: mark CVE-2011-3374 as fixed-version
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 02:52:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813095216.3146832-1-devanshp@cisco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <DJO5LWEY6LIE.1FJOPKM3IY664@smile.fr>
From: Devansh Patel <devanshp@cisco.com>
CVE-2011-3374 affects the legacy apt-key net-update command [1].
Upstream removed apt-key in apt 2.9.19 [2]. OE-Core uses apt 3.0.3,
so the vulnerable code is no longer present and cannot be restored by
configuration.
Mark the CVE as fixed-version.

Changes in v2:
- Use fixed-version instead of not-applicable-config because apt-key was
removed in apt 2.9.19.
- Shorten the CVE_STATUS explanation and add supporting references.
