[09:49] Guest38, are you the author of this https://askubuntu.com/questions/1444976/confused-about-reported-kernel-cve-by-openscap-with-oval-on-ubuntu-20-04-22-04/ ? [12:28] yes I am [12:52] Guest38, have you tried to use a newer OVAL data and see if you can reproduce the issue? I couldn't here [13:01] yes, I refresh the OVAL definition before each run. I will try one run again today [13:04] great, let me know if this is still happening [16:30] new test [16:31] fjc@nas:~$ uname -a [16:31] Linux nas 5.15.0-56-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 22 19:54:14 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [16:31] fjc@nas:~$ grep -i "oval:timestamp" com.ubuntu.jammy.cve.oval.xml [16:31]         2022-12-15T14:55:46 [16:31] fjc@nas:~$ oscap oval eval --report report_cve_$(hostname).html com.ubuntu.jammy.cve.oval.xml | grep 202243945 [16:31] Definition oval:com.ubuntu.jammy:def:2022439450000000: true [16:40] Guest38, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/JhQ228p7P8/ I cannot reproduce it [16:41] Guest38, could you run oscap with: oscap oval eval --report report_cve_$(hostname).html --results results.xml --verbose INFO --verbose-log-file log.txt com.ubuntu.jammy.cve.oval.xml | grep 202243945 [16:41] and then share the results.xml and log.txt [17:05] https://file.io/mmuAwwxRt9YB [17:05] one download allowed :/ [17:20] Guest38, do you have linux-image-extra-virtual or linux-image-generic or linux-image-virtual installed? [17:22] fjc@nas:~$ sudo apt list --installed | grep linux-image [17:22] WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

[17:35] I also have tens of (freshly installed) 20.04 machines which have the same symptoms [17:37] Guest38, so it is giving you 'true' result because it is matching the linux-image-generic binary package as part of the linux-meta-riscv source package. And that source package apparently didn't receive the CVE fix, so they will for sure trigger the true. I need to check with the kernel team more about it [19:05] thank you for the explanation [19:11] Guest38, I will take a look tomorrow on how to avoid this. This is a kind of false positive, but for a reason that shouldn't happen. I won't promise that the fix will be published tomorrow as we are about to leave for holidays, so it might have to wait until first week of January [19:11] and thanks for reporting it and providing the logs [20:22] thanks, no hurry. I think I noticed this problem for 6 months or something, for 20.04 and 22.04. Not for 18.04.

[20:56] another kind of false positive, but probably with another root cause as it is a special case of rejected CVE : https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-2209 [20:56] -ubottu:#ubuntu-security- ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. Reason: This CVE has been rejected as it was incorrectly assigned. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental usage.
