Vulnerability¶
Oracle Linux offers its own security advisories, and these are utilized when scanning Oracle Linux for vulnerabilities.
Data Source¶
See here.
Fixed Version¶
Trivy takes fixed versions from Oracle security advisories.
Flavors¶
Trivy detects the flavor for version of the found package and finds vulnerabilities only for that flavor.
| Flavor | Format | Example |
|---|---|---|
| normal | version without fips and ksplice |
3.6.16-4.el8 |
| fips | *_fips |
10:3.6.16-4.0.1.el8_fips |
| ksplice | *.ksplice*.* |
2:2.34-60.0.3.ksplice1.el9_2.7, 151.0.1.ksplice2.el8 |
For example Trivy finds CVE-2021-33560 only for the normal and fips flavors.
For the ksplice flavor, CVE-2021-33560 will be skipped.
Severity¶
Trivy determines vulnerability severity based on the severity metric provided in Oracle security advisories. For example, the security patch for CVE-2023-0464 is provided as ELSA-2023-2645. Its severity is rated as "MODERATE". Thus, even though it's evaluated as "HIGH" in the NVD, Trivy displays it with a severity of "MEDIUM".
The table below is the mapping of Oracle's threat to Trivy's severity levels.
