Subject: [OE-core] [master] [PATCH] apt: mark CVE-2011-3374 as not-applicable-config
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 05:45:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629124541.65290-1-adongare@cisco.com> (raw)

From: Anil Dongare <adongare@cisco.com>

Details: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2011-3374

CVE-2011-3374 describes a design flaw in the legacy apt-key trust model.

This does not apply to the current apt recipe in OE-Core because it uses
Debian vendor configuration. Debian security tracker notes this issue is not
exploitable in Debian since no keyring URI is defined for the apt-key
net-update path.

Mark this CVE as not-applicable-config for the recipe. This is a
configuration-based status, not a fixed-version status.
