Hello,<br>
I ask here if CentOS has a xml oval repository. This is the reason
of my question:<br>
<br>
Actually I have an automatic system to check CVE vulnerabilities
report against RedHat OVAL resources, for example:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/com.redhat.rhsa-2011.xml">https://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/com.redhat.rhsa-2011.xml</a>
for 2011 CVEs and RHSAs related OVALS<br>
<br>
My problem is that while the mechanism works flawlessly regarding
Scientific Linux, with CentOS I have false positives reports<br>
because the patch level numbers for some rpms is somewhat different
from the one written in the official RedHat OVALS.<br>
<br>
I make an example to explain myself better:<br>
<br>
Consider CVE-2011-0020 which corresponds to RHSA-2011:0180-1
security advisory and it regards a pango vulnerability.<br>
<br>
RedHat calls the updated rpm which addresses the vulnerability as
pango-1.14.9-8.el5_6.2 <br>
<br>
CentOS calls it as pango-1.14.9-8.el5.centos.2<br>
<br>
so we have:<br>
<br>
pango-1.14.9-8.el5_6.2 in the RedHat OVALS while CentOS has
pango-1.14.9-8.el5.centos.2 and I think they both addresses the
CVE-2011-0020 vulnerability<br>
but since the naming is different I have a report that my pango RPM
on CentOS is vulnerable, while on SL with same rpm I have no false
positives and everything is ok.<br>
<br>
So i ask if CentOS has it's own OVAL xml files because I cannot use
i na realiable way the RedHat OVALS with CentOS for my porpouses.<br>
<br>
thank you very much<br>
<br>
Rick<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
I have seen that package libvirt-0.8.2-15.el5_6.3 on CentOS 5.6 which
addresses CVE-2011-1146
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.redhat.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2011-1146.html"><https://www.redhat.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2011-1146.html></a> vulnerability
is not yet available while for example it is on Scientific Linux.
Is there any particular reason why the above rpm update is still not
available on mirrors ?

This was pushed, it just had a .el5 instead of .el5_6 dist tag, so it
looks older than the other update. Corrected and repushed.
Thanks,
