+# This file contains a list of CVE's where resolution has proven to be impractical
+# or there is no reasonable action the Yocto Project can take to resolve the issue.
+# It contains all the information we are aware of about an issue and analysis about
+# why we believe it can't be fixed/handled. Additional information is welcome through
+# patches to the file.
+#
+# Include this file in your local.conf or distro.conf to exclude these CVE's
+# from the cve-check results or add to the bitbake command with:
+#     -R conf/distro/include/cve-extra-exclusions.inc
+#
+# The file is not included by default since users should review this data to ensure
+# it matches their expectations and usage of the project.
+#
+# We may also include "in-flight" information about current/ongoing CVE work with
+# the aim of sharing that work and ensuring we don't duplicate it.

+# CVE is more than 20 years old with no resolution evident
+# broken links in CVE database references make resolution impractical

+# epiphany https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2005-0238
+# The issue here is spoofing of domain names using characters from other character sets.
+# There has been much discussion amongst the epiphany and webkit developers and
+# whilst there are improvements about how domains are handled and displayed to the user
+# there is unlikely ever to be a single fix to webkit or epiphany which addresses this
+# problem. Whitelisted as there isn't any mitigation or fix or way to progress this further
+# we can seem to take.

+# glibc https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2010-4756
+# Issue is memory exhaustion via glob() calls, e.g. from within an ftp server
+# Best discussion in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681681
+# Upstream don't see it as a security issue, ftp servers shouldn't be passing
+# this to libc glob. Exclude as upstream have no plans to add BSD's GLOB_LIMIT or similar

+# The encoding/xml package in go can potentially be used for security exploits if not used correctly
