📄️ When Host Assessments Identify a Vulnerability as Fixed
This article explains when a host vulnerability assessment identifies a vulnerability as fixed.
📄️ Multiple Fixed Parallel Package Versions
Because some vendors maintain multiple major versions of a software package simultaneously, when a vulnerability/CVE is found, vendors must introduce a fix for each maintained major version of the software package. Lacework assesses and displays the vulnerability status for only one combination of (unique machine instance, software package, package version, CVE vulnerability ID). This means that if there are many fixed versions, Lacework must determine which one is the most appropriate for the given package version.
📄️ When Host Assessment Metrics Carry Forward
Generally, assessment data is from what currently exists at the time of assessment. In some circumstances, however, Lacework can carry forward fixed status data to provide information about a previously existing vulnerability that has since been patched/addressed.
