Patch CVEs on AlmaLinux
StackPatch indexes the OSV.dev (AlmaLinux ecosystem) (osv.dev) for 3 AlmaLinux releases: 10 · 9 · 8. The workflow below shows the exact dnf + rpm commands to detect, remediate, and verify a CVE.
5-second free check
curl https://mindsparkstack.com/scan.sh | bash
On AlmaLinux the agent uses rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\t%{EPOCH}:%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n' to enumerate installed packages, then matches against osv.dev via the StackPatch matcher API. Source as plain text.
