From b3fa0654abf9ac32f683ac174e453ea5e64b6cb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ross Burton Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2019 14:26:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] procps: whitelist CVE-2018-1121 This CVE is about race conditions in 'ps' which make it unsuitable for security audits. As these race conditions are unavoidable ps shouldn't be used for security auditing, so this isn't a valid CVE.
