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.

Manual workflow

  1. 1. Enumerate installed packages

    rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\t%{EPOCH}:%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n' | head -200
  2. 2. Look up an example CVE

    CVE-2022-0778 — affects openssl on AlmaLinux. Each CVE page shows the exact fixed_version per release.

  3. 3. Upgrade with dnf + rpm

    sudo dnf upgrade -y <package>
  4. 4. Verify the version landed

    Re-run the quickscan, or use the per-package check listed above.

AlmaLinux-specific notes

  • AlmaLinux is RHEL-binary-compatible; same patches as upstream RHEL but free.
  • rpm versions are [epoch:]version-release[.dist]; epoch comparison takes priority.
  • AlmaLinux 8 has the most CVEs in our index (5,901 packages / 34,389 fix-records).
