From 50423a7896ae223ec97e60a3c958c45c20a12a36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ross Burton Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2019 14:26:53 +0000 Subject: procps: whitelist CVE-2018-1121 This CVE is about race conditions in 'ps' which make it unsuitable for security audits. As these race conditions are unavoidable ps shouldn't be used for security auditing, so this isn't a valid CVE.
