Ubuntu data set to ignored showing up in OSV.dev
I think there is a related problem with entries that the Ubuntu team set to "Ignored". The entries in the original Ubuntu JSON list the versions but without a "fixed" entry. This results in many false positive hits in our pipelines currently.
I think this is a flaw in the Ubuntu JSON sources but I post here for awareness.
Example:
- The CVE-2015-4852 entry on OSV.dev list Ubuntu:24.04:LTS as affected
- The corresponding JSON from Ubuntu lists it as "not fixed" (see below)
- The Ubuntu Security website lists the CVE as ignored
{ "package": { "ecosystem": "Ubuntu:24.04:LTS", "name": "openjdk-8", "purl": "pkg:deb/ubuntu/openjdk-8@8u452-ga~us1-0ubuntu1~24.04?arch=source&distro=noble" }, "ranges": [ { "type": "ECOSYSTEM", "events": [ { "introduced": "0" } ] } ], "versions": [ "8u382-ga-1ubuntu1", "8u392-ga-1", "8u402-ga-1", "8u402-ga-2", "8u402-ga-2ubuntu1", "8u402-ga-2ubuntu6", "8u402-ga-2ubuntu7", "8u402-ga-8build1", "8u412-ga-1~24.04.2", "8u422-b05-1~24.04", "8u432-ga~us1-0ubuntu2~24.04", "8u442-b06~us1-0ubuntu1~24.04", "8u452-ga~us1-0ubuntu1~24.04" ], "ecosystem_specific": { "ubuntu_priority": "high" } }
