Subject: [[PATCH v2] 2/4] generate-cve-exclusions: Add a .bbclass
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 14:09:59 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106191001.3385117-2-valentin.boudevin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106191001.3385117-1-valentin.boudevin@gmail.com>
Add a .bbclass to generate-cve-exclusions to use this script at every
run.
Two steps for testing:
1) Inherit this class in the kernel recipe with "inherit
generate-cve-exclusions.bbclass"
2) Use the following command to generate a cvelistV5 entry with a JSON
file in in ${WORKDIR}/cvelistV5/ :
"bitbake linux-yocto -c generate-cve-exclusions"
The JSON file can then be parsed in the following run by cve-check.
This class contains several methods:
*do_clone_cvelistV5: Clone the cvelistV5 repo in
${WORKDIR}/cvelistV5/git
(e.g. bitbake-builds/poky-master/build/tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/
linux-yocto/6.18.1+git/cvelistV5/git)
*do_generate_cve_exclusions: Use the script generate-cve-exclusions.py.
It uses the new "--output-json" argument to generate a JSON file as an
output stored in ${WORKDIR}/cvelistV5//cve-exclusion_${LINUX_VERSION}.json
*do_cve_check:prepend: Parse the previously generated JSON file to set
the variable CVE_STATUS corretly
