To indicate that a patch fixes a vulnerability in Buildroot, the convention is:
1. In the patch file, add a tag 'CVE: <cve id>'
2. In <pkg>.mk, and an entry to <PKG>_IGNORE_CVES, and add a comment above
that new entry to reference the patch file(s)
However, as packages get bumped and their patches are added, removed or
rebased; it happens that IGNORE_CVES get outdated. One important issue is
marking a CVE as ignored, while the corresponding patch is not in Buildroot.
To detect such cases, add a new checker to checkpackagelib that finds
occurences of:
# 000x-some-patch.patch
PKG_IGNORE_CVES += CVE-XXXX-YYYY
For each one of them, ensure that the mentioned patch files actually exist
and contain the `CVE: ...` tag.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at https://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
