Description Mariano Lopez 2016-01-08 15:27:44 UTC
To easily identify the patches that solves CVEs, it was decided to add a tag in the metadata. Current patches in OE-core doesn't have this tag, it is necessary to tag these patches.
Comment 1 Ross Burton 2016-01-08 15:39:48 UTC
My awesome tooling (github:rossburton/ross-tools, patchreview.py) is being updated right now and currently says this for oe-core:

Patches missing CVE: 35 (2%)

That's an estimate as it just looks for patches that have a CVE identifier in their content or filename, but that could be worse!

Thanks Ross for the tool. I hack a little to try to find more CVE patches, but I couldn't find more.

Sent patch to the list with these 35 recipes.
