Hello maintainers,
Could you please let me know whether this backport is being considered, or if any additional information or changes are required? In addition, I noticed a few other related fixes in the mainline branch which may also be relevant for scarthgap. Please let me know if you would prefer that I submit separate backport patches for those changes as well. The fix is relevant for the scarthgap as well, and I would appreciate any guidance on the status of backport. Thanks, Suresh H A ________________________________ From: Suresh H A <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 19, 2026 7:01:03 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]>; Suresh H A <[email protected]> Cc: Daniel Turull <[email protected]>; Peter Marko <[email protected]>; Marta Rybczynska <[email protected]>; Mathieu Dubois-Briand <[email protected]>; Richard Purdie <[email protected]> Subject: [poky][scarthgap][PATCH] improve_kernel_cve_report: add script for postprocesing of kernel CVE data From: Daniel Turull <[email protected]> Adding postprocessing script to process data from linux CNA that includes more accurate metadata and it is updated directly by the source.
