Checking Exposure to Known Vulnerabilities
OS Management provides a search facility that you can use to check individual Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to determine the level of exposure in your tenancy. CVEs provide standard names for publicly known security vulnerabilities and exposures that are cataloged in a dictionary-type format for reference.
The CVE search facility enables you to search for a CVE, to see the packages and instances affected by the CVE, and to push out package updates to instances to patch them.
The search facility for CVEs is available only for Linux distributions at this time.
