Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] generate-cve-exclusions: Add a .bbclass
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 14:05:18 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116190520.118714-4-valentin.boudevin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116190520.118714-1-valentin.boudevin@gmail.com>
Add a new class named kernel-generate-cve-exclusions.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
kernel-generate-cve-exclusions.bbclass"
2) Turn the variable ENABLE_KERNEL_CVE_EXCLUSIONS to "1".
3) 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
The class also provides some variables:
*ENABLE_KERNEL_CVE_EXCLUSIONS: Enable/Disable this class (off by default
to not affect linux-yocto OE example)
*GENERATE_CVE_EXCLUSIONS_SRC_URI and GENERATE_CVE_EXCLUSIONS_SRCREV can
be used to change the source repository or fix a commit with SRCREV
(usefull for deterministic testing)
*GENERATE_CVE_EXCLUSIONS_NETWORK can be set to 0 to provide an offline
mode based on DL_DIR directory.
*GENERATE_CVE_EXCLUSIONS_WORKDIR path used as a working directory for
this class
*GENERATE_CVE_EXCLUSIONS_DESTSUFFIX suffix used for the git unpack
*GENERATE_CVE_EXCLUSIONS_UNPACK_DIR path of the unpack for the git
repository
