so s/bookworm/trixie/g didn't work then?

Yes, this is mostly a joke, I am able to understand the difference between base distros.

halestock•58m ago
Pretty impressive to introduce 1400 CVEs in a project that's only ~7 months old.
devin•43m ago
If the thing measuring whether there are CVEs is also the thing creating said CVEs, are we sure they are even CVEs? Deduped? Etc.
GavCo•35m ago
These are CVEs in the base image and in standard lib dependencies. For example, just scanned an unhardened image I built today:

  Unhardened: docker.io/nanoco/nanoclaw:agent-alpha
  71 packages, 344 unique CVEs, linux/arm64

  (+51 more packages, 102 findings)

  C/H/M/L/N = critical/high/medium/low/negligible.
  Counts are unique CVEs: binaries from one source package are
  grouped (libcurl4 + libcurl3-gnutls + curl = curl), so a CVE
  hitting three of them counts once, not three times.

I don't understand the 'custom patch' strategy over 'fix the app with a major version change' strategy.
aliasxneo•15m ago
I'm convinced you can tackle 5-10 "CVEs" a day, make a little dashboard, put some pretty graphs on it, and send it to your exec team and probably get accolades. Nevermind that the CVEs had nothing to do with your product.
