At the request of creffett, I created a Proof of Concept for |
| 5 |
glksa-check, which allows for glksa XML files to define Kernel |
| 6 |
security vulnerabilities. Please realize that this is a Proof of |
| 7 |
Concept, and that the interface is not the most user-friendly. The |
| 8 |
code can definitely be improved as well. To test the program, untar |
| 9 |
the files and copy the glksa dir to /usr/portage/metadata/. At the |
| 10 |
moment, the script requires you to have /proc/config.gz enabled in |
| 11 |
your kernel to read your running config options. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I have two XML files currently defined (still using the glsa.dtd |
| 14 |
schema); one that is an actual vulnerability and one that is simply a |
| 15 |
control that triggers on X86. To test the program, run it with the -l |
| 16 |
option. |
| 17 |

You can download the files at http://sdamashek.me/files/glksa.tar.gz |
| 19 |
(not sure if the mailing lists let you attach tarballs). There is |
| 20 |
definitely a lot to be improved about the application; this is just an |
| 21 |
idea for how to handle notifying users about Kernel vulnerabilities |
| 22 |
that affect their system. They would be released just like glsas. What |
| 23 |
are the list's opinions on this? |
