*** collab-meetbot` changes topic to "Kernel maintenance updates (Meeting topic: CIP IRC weekly meeting)"13:03
masamiThis week reported 277 new CVEs and 10 updated CVEs.13:03
ulii pushed 4.4-rc, now reviewing 6.1.8013:03
pave1I'm reviewing 6.1.79 & 6.1.81.13:03
iwamatsu__I reviewd 6.1.79, and reviewing 6.1.8013:03
masamiI added a new script to cip-kernel-sec. which is called import_announce.py.13:03
masamiIt gathers CVE information from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/security/vulns.git/ .13:04
pave1I'm still reviewing 4.4-st, I'll have some comments there.13:04
jkimasami: thanks for that work!13:04
pave1CVEs: I believe we should stop looking at kernel CVEs until situation improves.13:05
jkistill unsure if it will help in the end :-/13:05
pave1This is just a bad-faith spam from Greg.13:05
masamithis script will help us to track CVEs :)13:05
jkiI saw in some CVEs that there are now even commits listed13:05
jkiin that regard, tracking improves, no?13:06
masamithese CVEs are committed to NVD so we should take care of them :(13:06
pave1How?13:06
masamiI think tracking is better than last week with new script13:06
pave1Contest every single one?13:06
pave1Talk to LF to fire Greg?13:06
pave1Talk to NVD to stop taking thrash from Greg?13:07
masamiSome tools (poky's cve checkre) warn CVEs because they look NVD database.13:07
pave1This will make maintaing 4.4 impossible, BTW.13:07
ulihow so?13:08
jki<same question>13:08
pave1Well, every single bugfix is going to be marked with CVE.13:08
pave1Maybe 50% of them apply to 6.1, maybe 30 % to 5.10, maybe 20% to 4.19.13:08
pave1So, for 4.19, 80% of fixes won't apply.13:09
pave1And that will all have CVE numbers, because "numbering authority" did not do any analysis.13:09
jkiso, we are missing a lower boundary for the CVEs, version-wise?13:09
pave1And we don't have manpower to analyse that, or to contest them.13:10
pave1"Lower boundary"?13:10
jkiCVE applies to any kernel < 6.1.345, 6.6.23 etc.13:10
jkibut some may only apply to > 5.10.34513:11
jkihowever the CVE will stick to all older kernels right now, that's at least my understanding13:11
pave1So.. the bug exists in 3.6 to 6.8 kernels.13:11
jkiyes13:11
pave1Fix is in 6.8, and we have backports to 6.1.13:11
pave1It no longer applies to 5.10.13:11
pave1For some bugs we have information when the bug was introduced, for some we don't.13:12
masamiSome CVEs don't have Fixes tag. That case we need to analyze them.13:12
jkibut then the question is if it actually makes sense / is needed for older kernels, and how to document that13:12
pave1And where to get 10 engineers analysing that :-(.13:12
masamiMost CVE announce contains introduced commit information. so far.13:12
jkiwe end up with CIP kernels that have tons of unfixed CVEs13:13
pave1So if it actually has fixes tag and the patch applies to all the kernels that contain the buggy commit we are fine.13:14
pave1Exactly. We'll have tons on unfixed "CVEs", even without security bugs.13:14
patersoncHow often do the new CVEs not have a lower version boundary?13:15
pave1And I'm not a lawyer, but there's legislation pending which will say we need to care about CVEs.13:15
patersoncSeems to me that the lower boundary should be set when the CVE is created? Isn't it essential info?13:15
jkiwe as CIP are not in scope of that EU legislation13:16
jkiwe as commercial CIP users are13:16
masamiThis week 55 CVEs don't have introduced commit information.13:16
patersoncmasami: Okay so that's quite a lot13:17
patersoncDoes the information get added over time?13:17

masamiI check patch and original code for older kernels. it takes time..13:18
pave1And we probably could check and find that >80% of "CVEs" are invalid.13:19
pave1But that will take also take time.13:19
masamithat's true.13:19
jkiwe have TSC next week - this shall be a prominent topic for it13:20
pave1Yes please. That's a good place to solve this :-(.13:20
masamiI see. thanks.13:20

jkithanks for the link13:22
jkiis that second one already covering what is happening the last two weeks?13:23
jkiif any one finds such statements elsewhere, please share as well13:24
pave1I believe so. Problem did not exist two weeks ago.13:24
jkiok13:24
jkineed to read carefully13:24
masamiThat said "A quick count of the linux-cve-announce mailing list shows that over 200 CVEs were assigned in the first 4 days of operation, the majority of which have no demonstrated security impact."13:24
jkiyep, almost fresh - there are 80013:25

jkiok, we have a couple of delays, let me check again13:29
jki4.4 is about to be released, after review13:29
jki4.4-rt as well?13:30
pave1Yes.13:30

patersoncPavel I saw your email about squad - sorry I haven't replied yet13:32
patersoncI also have an MR for cip-core CI/testing to review on my todo list13:33
patersoncOur new EC2 tag tracking seems to be working13:33
patersoncSo we have a better understanding of what project is running more CI13:34
pave1patersonc: I'm starting to look at the squad before doing the releases, but don't mind being doublechecked for now.13:34
patersoncI'll explain more in the TSC13:34
patersoncThanks pave113:34
pave113:36
patersoncI think that's all I have this week13:37
jkiany other testing topics?13:38
sietzeI am working on an automated way to generate these test reports13:38
sietzeAs a replacement of Chris's emails13:38
jkisietze: cool - if that is possible13:39
pave1It looked like the pages were now simple enough that we could understand and check them before release.13:40
pave1I expect emails to be obsolete in month or so.13:40
sietzeSetting up the known issues also helped I guess13:41
pave1Yes! :-)13:41
pave1Now if I could have single green line "everything is okay in commit ABCD" I'd be happy.13:42
pave1So far I'm checking gitlab to see if tests are done13:42
pave1and then squad to see if there are any fails...13:42
jkigreat to see this evolving!13:43
