Hello,
I ask here if CentOS has a xml oval repository. This is the reason of my
question:
Actually I have an automatic system to check CVE vulnerabilities report
against RedHat OVAL resources, for example:
https://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/com.redhat.rhsa-2011.xml for
2011 CVEs and RHSAs related OVALS
My problem is that while the mechanism works flawlessly regarding
Scientific Linux, with CentOS I have false positives reports
because the patch level numbers for some rpms is somewhat different from
the one written in the official RedHat OVALS.
I make an example to explain myself better:
Consider CVE-2011-0020 which corresponds to RHSA-2011:0180-1 security
advisory and it regards a pango vulnerability.
RedHat calls the updated rpm which addresses the vulnerability as
pango-1.14.9-8.el5_6.2
CentOS calls it as pango-1.14.9-8.el5.centos.2
so we have:
pango-1.14.9-8.el5_6.2 in the RedHat OVALS while CentOS has
pango-1.14.9-8.el5.centos.2 and I think they both addresses the
CVE-2011-0020 vulnerability
but since the naming is different I have a report that my pango RPM on
CentOS is vulnerable, while on SL with same rpm I have no false
positives and everything is ok.
So i ask if CentOS has it's own OVAL xml files because I cannot use i na
realiable way the RedHat OVALS with CentOS for my porpouses.
thank you very much
Rick

Hello,
I have seen that package libvirt-0.8.2-15.el5_6.3 on CentOS 5.6 which
addresses CVE-2011-1146
<https://www.redhat.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2011-1146.html> vulnerability
is not yet available while for example it is on Scientific Linux.
Is there any particular reason why the above rpm update is still not
available on mirrors ?
This was pushed, it just had a .el5 instead of .el5_6 dist tag, so it
looks older than the other update. Corrected and repushed.
Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
