Hello all,
I'm drafting a fetcher for kernelcves  (
https://github.com/nluedtke/linux_kernel_cves/) and the data conflicts in a
certain way with cve-extra-exclusions.inc. With multiple fetchers we'll
need to have a way to say which data set has priority.

For now I can see examples of two cases (in all cases we go for a specific
kernel version):

Case one:
NVD says unfixed
linux_kernel_cves says unknown
cve-extra-exclusions.inc says IGNORE

Case two:
NVD says unfixed
linux_kernel_cves says fixed
cve-extra-exclusions says IGNORE

In the first case, the solutions is IGNORE (some old CVEs), in the second
one it's PATCHED.

The questions I have: Should cve-extra-exclusions always have priority?
Should we allow the user to set priority of fetchers?

What I'm going to test is use the kernel_cves fetcher for all kernel CVEs
and NVD for all  the rest. Should it be an option?

I'd like to avoid adding too many options that make cause mistakes...

Ideas? Comments?

Kind regards,
Marta
