Hell all,
There have been questions and discussions recently about the external
tooling for CVE-checking in the context of the NVD issues.

Last year, we posted an RFC of the yocto-vex-check and the vex.bbclass.
vex.bbclass has been integrated into the Yocto Project. There has been no
much discussion about yocto-vex-check on the mailing list, but there are
some people who are already using it...

Short version: you can download it from
https://gitlab.com/syslinbit/public/yocto-vex-check

Longer version:
============

There are a few missing features we're working on before the integration in
the YP and the next patchset (limiting the number of false positives is
one). They are in private branches but will be merging soon.

You can use it still (we have a daily bot) and a typical command for an
external run (when you have done an YP build) is like

./wrap-yocto-vex-check.py \
-i ../openembedded-core/build/tmp/log/cve/cve-summary.json \
-o out-check-test \
-t temp-out-check \
-db ../cvelistV5-overrides/ -db-type CVE

For the complete instructions, see the blog post that I plan to update with
the progress of changes coming: https://ygreky.com/2025/02/yocto-vex-check/

We have also presented the tool at FOSDEM 2025 and you can accces it from
the talk page:
https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5519-vulnerability-management-at-a-scale-for-the-yocto-project/

If you have any questions, ask them here. We'll be happy to see your
remarks/test results!

Kind regards,
Marta
