  • kernel CVE vulnerability patch info in changelog

    a while back there i asked about vulnerability paches being listed in the kernel changelog. At the time cloudlinux was not getting the vulnerability CVE number in the change log for easy look up. At that time, it was suggested this was going to be fixed and changed. Has this been addressed? Are we able to use a changelog grep for CVE paches yet?

    now specifically, one PCI scanner looking at my server is listing this old vulnerability CVE-2012-1146


    rpm -q --changelog kernel-2.6.32-531.29.2.lve1.3.11.1.el6.x86_64 | grep CVE-2012-1146
    doesnt show it patched.

    googling: cve-2012-1146 site:cloudlinux.com
    doesnt show it addressed.

    how do I demonstrate to the PCI scan service that this has been addressed on the servers?

    PCI scanner has removed this vulnerability from their scan. But the initial questions are still floating?

    additional question, will kernelcare be able to keep the changelog updated with CVE patch numbers?

      We already have that here:
      patches.kernelcare.com

      Select the kernel, and you will see CVE patch numbers.

        Instead of having to do all the cross referencing, it would be really convenient to be able to grep a changelog for the patch. In that way, we know it has been address AND the patch was applied to the server in one easy step. Also makes less cross referencing to prove security and PCI scanners that an issue has been addressed.
        Just my 2 cents.

        how about the kernel changelog in the kernel RPMs ?
