False positives, when OS version does not match #1297
Basilious5 posted onGitHub
Hello! My system is running on Debian 9 (Stretch) and Iām using Vuls 0.12.3. Encountered strange Vuls behavior.
First, it says that bind9 version 1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+deb10u5 is vulnerable to CVE-2018-5740. However, Debian security tracker says the opposite.
Possible reason ā that version of bind9 made for Debian 10 (Buster), but I do not sure.
Second, vuls says, that squid3 version 3.5.23-5+deb9u7 is vulnerable to CVE-2021-33620. However, Debian security tracker says the opposite.
Possible reason ā that version of squid3 made for Stretch-security.
I would really appreciate any help with explanation, cause sometimes I have a huge number of false positives.
