+CVE patches
+===========
+
+In order to have a better control of vulnerabilities, patches that fix CVEs must
+contain a ``CVE:`` tag. This tag list all CVEs fixed by the patch. If more than
+one CVE is fixed, separate them using spaces.
+
+CVE Examples
+------------
+
+This should be the header of patch that fixes CVE-2015-8370 in GRUB2::
+
+ grub2: Fix CVE-2015-8370
+
+ [No upstream tracking] -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1286966
+
+ Back to 28; Grub2 Authentication
+
+ Two functions suffer from integer underflow fault; the grub_username_get() and grub_password_get()located in
+ grub-core/normal/auth.c and lib/crypto.c respectively. This can be exploited to obtain a Grub rescue shell.

This was previously included in the OpenEmbedded wiki page [1], but was not ported along with the rest in commit 95c9a1e1e78bbfb82ade (2023-09-12, Michael Opdenacker: "contributor-guide: recipe-style-guide: add Upstream-Status"). [1]: https://www.openembedded.org/index.php?title=Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines&oldid=10935 Group the examples in their own sections (but name it differently from any other section in this document so that sphinx doesn't generate a warning about duplicate labels). Signed-off-by: Roland Hieber <rhi@pengutronix.de> --- PATCH v2: * reorder after the patch adding the general patch examples * put CVE examples into their own subsection * propagate CVE section one section level higher * use ``literal`` instead of *emphasized* formatting for CVE tag PATCH v1: https://lore.kernel.org/yocto-docs/20230920100647.1038583-1-rhi@pengutronix.de/ --- .../contributor-guide/recipe-style-guide.rst | 25 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+)
