Container Image Vulnerabilities and CVE Reports

Describes how HPE Ezmeral Engineering provides software updates to address container image vulnerabilities.

HPE Ezmeral Engineering takes security very seriously and makes every effort to ensure that the container images for HPE Ezmeral software products are free of known vulnerabilities at the time of release. However, because new vulnerabilities are always being discovered and reported, it is likely that scanning product images with tools such as Trivy will show lists of CVEs that affect packages inside the images.

The HPE Ezmeral Engineering team also regularly scans product images to identify new vulnerabilities and creates action plans to modify the product images. Please note that most vulnerabilities are present in open-source software leveraged by HPE Ezmeral Engineering. Therefore, HPE Ezmeral Engineering determines when it is best to update products with updated open-source content.

HPE Ezmeral Engineering typically updates vulnerable packages from one minor software product version to the next (for example, from 1.3 to 1.4). For critical vulnerabilities, HPE may provide security-patched container images outside of the established software release cycle, in accordance with the following table.

To keep your platform as secure as possible, please ensure that you upgrade or patch your HPE Ezmeral Software to the latest available software.
